Our annual collection has once again shown the generosity and kindness of our members as toys and vouchers have begun to pile up in Nerney’s Court. The closing date for the collection is fast coming at close of business Monday 16th December. Don’t miss your chance to take part!

The collection for the Toy Appeal for Temple Street Children’s Hospital is an annual tradition our members rise to year after year, making a massive difference to the children and teenagers who spend the festive season in hospital. 

The appeal also includes the Crumlin, Tallaght and Connolly hospitals.

You can donate by posting a suitable unwrapped new toy to the following address: Fórsa Toy Appeal, Fórsa Trade Union, Nerney’s Court, Dublin 1. If you happen to be in our Nerney’s Court office between now and then, you can drop off your donations at our collection point.

Vouchers would be very welcome, either for Smyths toys or One for All vouchers. You can see a list of suitable toys here. We’ve also been asked by the organisers to make a special request not to forget about teenage children. Please also note that the hospital does not accept food items, homemade toys, small toys which could be a choking hazard, or used toys due to strict infection control guidelines. Please do not wrap the toys as all toys need to be checked by the hospital before being given to the patients. 

Your support, as always, is hugely appreciated. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact kosullivan@forsa.ie or ghearne@forsa.ie.

Join a union that wins. Join Fórsa.
