Hey all,
just wanted to share the details for 2014 Toy Run - I know each year we've had a great turn out and support from Pistonheads - this year the date it will take place is December 06, supporting the Chase Hospice and this year the White Lodge. Like everything there is a FB page, but I'll make sure I keep up to date and reply on here for those who'd like to come along.

Details are:

For the past 6 years we have supported the Chase Shooting stars Hospice with donations of new toys at Christmas. The toys given help the hospice each year as they're often used as presents through the year and used at fundraisers for much needed equipment. This year we will also be visiting the White Lodge Centre in Chertsey.

While the toys need to be new, we're always reminded not to forget the teenagers, video games, DVD's, music are also welcome as they often don't get as much as the younger children.

We really hope that you can join us again and make this one of the best years to date

Meeting Point:
8.30-9am Beaconsfield services
9.15am Leave Beaconsfield Services
10am-12pm White Lodge Centre, Chertsey
1pm-3pm CHASE Shooting Stars Hospice, Guildford

Anyone wanting to bring their car on the run, please email becci@fueltopia.co.uk to add yourself to the list we need your name and car details. The main area at the White Lodge holds 15 cars and we will be issuing Golden tickets to 15 cars at the meet point to try and give the children a diverse range of cars to look around. Other cars will fit in the car park but staff want to keep the children in one area to look around some of the cars.

If you are unable to attend but would like to send donations on your behalf please email becci@fueltopia.co.uk for details of where these can be sent to
