The BIG Christmas Toy Exchange is BACK!
Make Christmas magic for a child or teen — Donate a toy today!
This Christmas, Active Lifestyle Centres are teaming up with The Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Children Appeal to bring joy to children and teenagers across the county who might otherwise go without a gift this festive season.
At Active Lifestyle Centres, we believe everyone deserves to feel the excitement and magic of Christmas – no matter their circumstances. By donating a new, unwrapped gift, big or small, you’ll help create a magical moment for those less fortunate.
How You Can Help
Simply drop off a new, unwrapped gift at any of our Active Lifestyle Centres before 14th December.
This year, we’re especially encouraging donations for teenagers (ages 13–18), who often receive fewer gifts than younger children.
Not sure what to donate? Here are some great ideas:
-
Pyjama sets
-
Toiletries & self-care items
-
Sports gear or accessories
-
Headphones or books
-
Art & craft sets
-
Jewellery or small personal gifts
(Please avoid food items and anything requiring batteries or extra equipment.)
A BIG Thank You from Us!
When you donate, you’ll receive a 1-day pass for a gym session – our way of saying thank you for spreading the joy.
