Toy donations needed
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, each year we raise thousands of pounds at community events all from donated items such as soft toys, books, games, toys, and puzzles.
Do you have items to donate?
Firstly, thank you so much for thinking of our charity!
We are happy to receive your donations throughout the year. We would especially love items such as:
- Children’s books
- Puzzles
- Toys
- Games
- Also larger play items such as dolls houses, bikes, scooters, garden toys…etc
To help our wonderful group of volunteers who sort and get items ready for our fundraising events, please only donate items that are brand new or in ‘good as new’ condition.
Where to donate
All donated items can be dropped off in the large green collection bin at the back of Unit 15, Grove Business Estate, Waltham Road, SL6 3LW.
To arrange a collection for larger items, please get in touch with one of our volunteers, Richard Johnson, by email at richardj@alexanderdevine.org. Alternatively, please contact the Fundraising Team at fundraising@alexanderdevine.org.
Need our help?
The word hospice should not seem scary and getting support from us doesn’t have to mean a child’s death is imminent. Helping to enrich the lives of the children and their families is at the heart of our service, our end of life and bereavement support is just a part of what we do.
Our children’s hospice service covers the whole of Berkshire and into surrounding counties. If you think your child may be eligible for our services, please do get in touch.

Remember our very special Christmas gift from Volvo? 🚗🎁
It’s a gift that really has been making a huge difference to us at Alexander Devine, especially in helping us provide additional support for families like Huzaifah's.
Huzaifah, who is not yet two years old, up until earlier this year had spent just 7 weeks of his life out of hospital. Our team have been supporting the family in trying to keep him safe at home as much as possible, and now we can also help the family with taking him to his hospital appointments for vital treatment.
Using the car meant our Alexander's Nurses and Carers could safely transport Huzaifah along with his wheelchair, additional oxygen cylinders, suction machine and the extra team members we need to keep him safe during the journey.
Thank you Volvo for helping us make even more of a difference to children and families that we support.

…and relax!
With its mesmerising lights and rainbow of colours, our sensory room is a wonderfully calm environment for the babies, children and young people that we support to explore.
After a busy morning splashing in the pool, getting messy in the creative zone or playing outside in the gardens, it’s the perfect place to unwind (for Alexander’s Nurses and Carers too!)
