Toybox is a Christian charity committed to helping street living and street working children and those at risk of becoming so, principally in Latin America.
Update June 2010 

This project rescues street children who have been orphaned by civil war, abandoned by parents too poor to cope, runaways who fall prey to violence disease, exploitation and rejected by society.  We support two children, one who lives in Guatemala and the other Bolivia.   

Their mission is to bring lasting and positive change to the lives of street children, street working children and those at risk of becoming so, through front line work, prevention and advocacy, being a facilitator and enabler, galvanising people and resources in the UK, Latin America and worldwide.

Their vision is of a world where there are no street children, where families are restored, those who are disadvantaged have choices and hope and all children have a voice.

Gillingham Youth For Christ: We regularly support this outreach programme in Gillingham.  Malcolm and team regularly share their experiences with us as they seek bring God's work to the youth in Gillingham.  Following on from this outreach work we have now become involved with Peninsular Youth For Christ, a new and exciting branch of the Youth For Christ organisation.  Gemma (from PYFC) has visited our church twice this year and continues to bring God's love and guidance to our local youngsters.

Kumi Baptist Church, Uganda: Following Bernie's visit to Uganda in 2007 our church decided to support the work of this particular church.  We sent further gifts when Bernie & Chris visited this year (2008) and in October (2008) Bernie was able to visit Uganda again with church support with Food For the Hungry, donating computer equipment & training people in its use.  Bernie was able to come alongside the villagers and share God's love and compassion through His word.
