Help Us To Help Ukraine
Can you help us help Ukraine?
We are deeply saddened by the invasion of Ukraine and are welcoming donations to help the crisis. We need volunteers to donate, sort and pack supplies over at our Folkestone warehouse, which will then be loaded onto a 40ft lorry and taken to the Polish border to go to Ukraine.
The warehouse will be open Monday to Saturday, 9am - 5pm for donations.
As well as supporting with the logistical operation to get donations to where they are most needed, we will also be donating the total value of all orders placed on our consumer website (www.bigjigstoys.co.uk) tomorrow only (8th March 2022) to fund further lorry deliveries into Eastern Europe. Whilst buying a gift for a loved little one, you are gifting help to a Ukrainian.
Our donation, equal to the sales on our consumer website tomorrow, will help fund the huge logistics effort that is being made to ship food and medicine from the UK to Ukraine.
If you are local to us and wish to volunteer, you can get in touch via our Whatsapp group. If you're not local, you can still send your donations to our warehouse but please clearly mark the box as "Ukraine Aid Donation" so that we can efficiently deal with them as they arrive.

Hi Amanda, as of September 2022, collections have now closed. Instead, Kent Help For Ukraine are starting their ‘Christmas Bags of Love’ campaign – you can find out more information here: https://www.facebook.com/kenthelpforukraine22/
