Another very entertaining speaker from the Townsville Toy Library, Nikki Dunn provided an overview of the wonderful work they are doing in our local community. They provide a very popular and necessary facility for the Townsville area.

 

Due to a major flood event in 2019, they had to find other accommodation, most of which has only been temporary, however recently the local Townsville Council provided them with an excellent facility in the suburb of Vincent on a 5 year lease. They are very appreciative of the new building and location however they are attempting to raise some funding to allow them to provide some more safety and also better access to the rooms.

 

The floods caused the loss of all the toys that they loan to those in need, however, the support of various groups has allowed them to rebuild most of the things they need for a Toy Library. They currently hold around 2500 different toys so the community response has been very good.

 

Thanks Nikki for sharing this community asset with us and we hope to be able to assist in some ways to work with your organization on your items of need.
