The Impact in Numbers

We saw unprecedented growth in need this year:
• 1,520 Children supported (up 47%).
• 937 Families referred (up 105%).
• Full participation from all 12 Redditch Mission Area churches.

Dignity at the Heart

By adopting a “Retail Model,” we empowered parents to choose gifts tailored to their children’s interests. As one parent, Amy, shared:

“My daughter is more into football than ‘girls’ toys’… it’s been great being able to choose for her!”

A Huge Thank You

This mission was a true team effort. Our deepest gratitude goes to:
• The Kingfisher Centre: For donating the retail space.
• Our Volunteers: The core team and volunteers from our 12 churches, the Diocese, and the public.
• Civic & Corporate Partners: Including Redditch Borough Council, Redditch Mayor Joanna Kane, MP Chris Bloore, Tesco, Coffee #1, and The Redditch Standard.

More Than Just Toys

The shop also served as a spiritual sanctuary. From our Prayer Tree to the high demand for Bibles, it was clear that Redditch has a hunger for hope. One 14-year-old girl’s request for her own Bible reminded us that we aren’t just giving gifts—we are sharing the light of the Gospel.

This appeal serves as a “Mission Hub Prototype” for 2026—proving that God is moving in our town.
