Christmas countdown starts with charity in Milton Keynes

Bletchley based children's charity Toybox is one of 48 charities chosen by Advent of Change to be part of their Christmas collection available in John Lewis and Waitrose stores nationwide.

Toybox is part of a unique product line-up for Christmas 2021. The feel-good festive range has been revealed in partnership with John Lewis by the non-profit social enterprise, Advent of Change, which pioneered the UK’s first advent calendar with a charity behind each door.

Toybox is included in the Charity Advent calendar, Advent candle and Charity Christmas bauble, just part of the growing collection, this year once again supporting charities from all around the world.
Give back as you count down to Christmas - your purchase will donate towards a new charity behind each calendar door, explaining what your donation has given.

Last year the collection raised £235,000 totalling £545,000 across the first three years which Advent of Change has been up and running.

The Advent of Change collection offers a sustainable alternative at Christmas, from the items themselves to the packaging, not only do these products give back, but they fully support a more sustainable Christmas. The candle is 100% natural wax, the crackers and calendars are plastic free and recyclable.

The full range is available to buy online via the Advent of Change website and online or in store at John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose.

About Toybox

Toybox started working in Guatemala City in 1992, and is still there today, working with children who have been plunged into the chaos of living or working on the streets. From working in one country, with one partner, the organisation is working in seven countries with eight partners.

The charity is committed to ending the global injustice of children living and working on the city streets. It helps children marginalised and abused by those who should protect them and works with local organisations who are best placed to help find the most appropriate ways to prevent and help children escape from a life on the streets.

Toybox works in El Salvador, Bolivia, Guatemala, India, Nepal, Sierra Leone and Kenya.
