WHERE HAVING FUN CHANGES CHILDREN'S LIVES

OUR MISSION

The charity’s mission is to raise funds primarily from The Fence Club members, their associated companies and wider network, and to distribute those funds to charities supporting disadvantaged and disabled children, mainly within the UK. The majority of funds raised come from member donations and sponsored activities. In recent years, the annual Christmas Ball widely regarded as the highlight of the Toy industry’s social calendar has also attracted generous sponsorship from a range of companies.

Through networking, social events and collaboration, we celebrate the industry while harnessing its collective generosity to support children in need.

Supporting demelza

“Once again, The Fence Club Trust Fund generously supported Demelza at Christmas with an amazing donation of toys, to help us bring the joy of Christmas to children with serious or life-limiting conditions.

Over two weekends in December, 142 families (20 more than last year) brought their child or children to take part in our festive activities. 297 children took part in a wide range of activities. 537 gifts were handed out to some very excited children!

We also made sure that children who could not attend did not miss out, with special gift deliveries from our elves. In total, 166 gifts were delivered by our amazing volunteers.

The amazing toy donation helped us to give these extraordinary children and their families a Christmas that stay in their memories forever. THANK YOU.“
