    Hi all, so after Santa arriving there are way to many toys puzzles etc around the house which are in really good condition. I'd like to give them to a charity or some organisation that would need them but to be honest don't want to give them to any of the big charities as i feel they get plenty. The hospital won't take them because of fear of germs etc. And I don't think there's any orphanages in Galway anymore.

    So if anyone has any suggestions I'd much appreciate it. I certainly don't want to throw these toys out and would like if other kids could have them. The toys are for under 6's.

    Thanks.

    Not the most obvious, but the ISPCC run a program called Leanbh.

    Hospitals will generally only accept washable toys, e.g large plastic toys or ones the child can take home after their stay.

    Oh didn't think the ISPCC would take toys.. Thanks for that..

    Rang the hospital and they told me they couldn't take any toys. Which is a shame.

    Don't know about Simon. I would like to give them to a charity thats not well known that could do with them.

    I'm going to give Leanbh a call today and see what they say. :)
