A SHARE of £25,000 is heading to a toy library in Bulwell after it became the latest charity to get involved in the Post's cash giveaway.

The amount of money it receives will be determined by the number of coupons collected for the toy library by readers during our Cash For Your Community campaign.

The initiative is being run by the Post and The Nottingham Building Society and will benefit hundreds of community groups.

The Bulwell Community Toy Library is just one of the organisations to have signed up to claim a share of the prize since it was announced six days ago.

Project manager Steve Parkinson, of the Bulwell Community Toy Library, said any money the charity receives from the £25,000 will be a "real lifeline."

"As an organisation that's at the heart of community life in Bulwell we're delighted to be a part of the Cash For Your Community campaign," he said.

"The campaign is a great idea, especially as there is less funding available for community organisations like ours, but at the same time many local families really need our help and support.

"Every penny will go towards supporting families and children – as we've been doing for three decades.

"We've signed up to the campaign to try and raise some much-needed funds so that we can continue to provide the best service possible to families.

"The money will be a real lifeline."

The Bulwell Community Toy Library was established in 1979 and is an independent organisation, run by volunteer trustees who give their time for free.

It offers more than 3,000 fun and educational toys and games and runs weekly play sessions for babies and toddlers, after-school and holiday clubs and outdoor play sessions.

Mr Parkinson added: "The toy library is definitely a focal point for many families in Bulwell and many of them have used our services for generations.

"We also employ local people and provide volunteering opportunities as well."

Readers will be able to collect tokens for the Bulwell Community Toy Library from Wednesday, May 25.

Other community groups in the county are urged to sign up by Wednesday, May 11 to claim their share of the £25,000 – with the first 200 groups to register guaranteed a pay-out.
