The toys are distributed to needy children at Christmas or other times of the year - whenever there is a need.

The annual toy run is a major fundraising event for the Salvation Army who are known worldwide for helping out those destitute and in great need no matter what their social status.

For those without a motorcycle who would like to donate you are welcome to do so as well.

Following the Toy Run there will be a steak night at the Park Hotel.
