Support the Lord Provost's Spirit Aid Christmas Toy Appeal 2026
This year, the Lord Provost's annual Christmas Toy Appeal is joining forces with local humanitarian charity Spirit Aid, to help support vulnerable children and young people across Greater Glasgow.
Spirit Aid is dedicated to helping children and young people whose lives have been affected by poverty, neglect, abuse and lack of opportunity. By working together with Spirit Aid, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Glasgow Taxis to help with collection and distribution, we hope to reach even more children and families in need this Christmas.
How you can help
You can support the appeal by donating:
- new, unwrapped toys for younger children
- gifts suitable for older children and teenagers
- new winter jackets (aged 5-17).
Donated jackets will be distributed to children and families in need across the city, alongside toys and gifts.
Collection bins are available at:
- City Chambers, Main Reception
- City Chambers East, 40 John Street Reception
- 229 George Street, Main Reception
- Commonwealth House, Albion Street Reception
- Eastgate, London Road Reception.
Donations can be made until Friday 11 December 2026.
Other ways to contribute
If you are unable to donate a physical gift, you can still support the appeal by:
- purchasing a gift directly from the Spirit Aid Amazon Wishlist
- making a donation via JustGiving, with Spirit Aid purchasing toys on your behalf.
