Our toy library relies on volunteers to operate. We ask all members to contribute some of their time during their membership with Meg’s Toy Box.
Volunteers are crucial to the running of the toy library as they ensure that the toy library can open for shifts, catalogue toys and run our end of year stocktake.
Volunteering is a great way to meet new friends and we guarantee you'll get a warm fuzzy volunteering feeling. Another bonus of volunteering with us is that you can bring your kids along to sessions and enjoy free toy borrowing!
