Birthday Club
Thousands of children in the UK go without a single birthday present each year. Children who are referred to our Birthday Club receive gifts, balloons, decorations, and a delicious birthday cake so they can celebrate their special day.
What is Birthday Club?
Children who are referred to our Birthday Club receive a main gift (up to the value of £20), a few smaller gifts, balloons, decorations and of course a birthday cake. Any child up to age 17 can be referred, if they are from a disadvantaged background. We are delighted to partner with ZSL so families can also receive London Zoo tickets for a family day out to celebrate their child's birthday.
How do children get referred?
Children need to be referred by a professional. The professional (who we call our "Referral Partner") must also be registered with us. Once they are registered, the Referral Partner will complete a Birthday club referral form. This form asks for the family's details as well as what item the child would like for their birthday. Once the form has been completed, they will book a Birthday Club Collection to collect the items from our hub in Barnet, EN5.
When can children be referred?
This is a year-round service so children can be referred at any time but we need at least one weeks notice. Please note the child's birthday must be in the next 8 weeks and we cannot provide gifts for a child whose birthday has already passed.​
​
How many times can children be referred?
Children can only be referred to our Birthday Club once.
​​
Are there any gifts you can't provide?
Yes, we cannot provide:
-
Tablets, Kindles, game consoles, or games
-
Smartphones or other personal devices
-
Weapons or weapon-like toys
-
Toys with a minimum age recommendation higher than the child's age (e.g., a toy labelled 3+ for a 2-year-old).
