Toybank has been set up with the intention of addressing the developmental needs of at-risk children. It uses the medium of games and play to educate Read moreand guide children into becoming responsible future citizens. It tries to involve corporates and schools in its mission to nurture children through play. Using presentations and speeches the organisation tries to make supporters, donors, volunteers and the general public understand the importance of play and the child’s right to play. It was active in the peak of the pandemic situation to provide relief to children who were locked at home with reduced access to school, friends and play centres, now as the situation is turning towards normal the organisation is initiating the rebuild phase to attract children back to the play centres and progress towards the new normal.
