Children from families with a background of traumatic life experiences or complex needs don’t always get the education they should.
Right now, we need to raise vital funds to ensure ToyBox can provide essential, low-cost, early years education to children who need it most.
Children who have experienced trauma don’t always feel safe and may struggle to engage in learning at a crucial stage in their early development years. They need time to develop the confidence to learn through play and build secure relationships.
“It is our mission at ToyBox to provide a safe and secure environment by putting the needs of the child and their families first.”
Gemma Turner, ToyBox Early Years Manager
ToyBox staff are experts in providing trauma-informed care and high-quality education to children from families living with multiple disadvantages to support their physical, emotional and social development during their early years.
Every child has the right to a good education and to learn in a safe and caring environment. It’s the foundation for a productive and rewarding life.
Please donate today
Your donation today could help shape a child’s future.
Your support could provide specialist sensory equipment for children with SEND or emotional needs.
Your support will help us to...
-
- Ensure families, including those with multiple complex needs, have access to specialist, trauma-informed support during their child's early years.
- Train staff in Drawing and Talking Therapy to support children who may be struggling as a result of trauma or poor mental health - ensuring they can express themselves in healthy ways and explore and label their feelings.
- Train a SEND coordinator to ensure that children with special educational needs and disability (and their families) are given necessary support to thrive at home and in education.
- Provide subsidised, early years places so families on low incomes, living in Brighton & Hove's most deprived areas, can access low-cost high-quality childcare.
