As the festive season approaches, Etone College is once again delighted to support the Salvation Army's Nuneaton Toy Drive, helping to spread a little Christmas magic to children and young people across our local community.

Christmas is a time for kindness, generosity and thinking of others. However, for some families, the festive period can bring additional challenges. Through this fantastic initiative, we hope to make a difference by providing gifts for children aged 0–16 years who might otherwise go without.

We are inviting pupils, parents and carers who are able to support the appeal to donate new toys, games or gifts. All donations should be new, boxed or packaged and undamaged, although immaculate, nearly new books are also welcome. New toiletry gift sets are particularly appreciated for older teenagers.

Donations can be brought to D1-1 on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 November 2026.

There is absolutely no expectation for families to contribute, but every donation, no matter how small, could help bring a smile to a young person's face this Christmas.

At Etone, we are incredibly proud of the generosity and community spirit shown by our pupils and families. By supporting this appeal, our pupils have another opportunity to demonstrate the importance of active citizenship, compassion and making a positive contribution to the world around them.

Thank you for helping us spread some Christmas joy across Nuneaton!
