Some NSPCC projects accept toys. These are normally therapeutic or family support projects, and sometimes young people's centres. Please note that we do not accept second hand toys for health and safety reasons.
Some NSPCC projects accept new and very good quality children's and teenage clothing to pass on to children and young people they are working with. These are normally family support projects and young people's centres. We accept new footwear only.
The NSPCC does not accept furniture as we do not have a scheme to recycle such items. We do not have a van or storage facilities. The Furniture Recycling Network can advise people regarding offers of furniture: telephone 0845 6028003 or visit their website at www.frn.org.uk.

The NSPCC is unable to help individuals publish or release their work. It receives many pieces of a similar nature and to attempt to help all the authors / musicians who contact us would be both time consuming and outside our remit, which is to end cruelty to children in England, the Channel Islands, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is advisable that authors or musicians contact a literary agent or record company who will be better placed to assist.

Although the NSPCC has had royal patronage since its earliest days, the word ‘Royal’ has never been included in its title. However, we are a Royal society by virtue of our Royal Charter, which was granted by the start of the 20th century. When the NSPCC was incorporated in 1895, with Queen Victoria as its Royal patron, it was decided by the then trustees not to include the word Royal in the title because “NSPCC” was very well known and changing the name might cause confusion with the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
