The event, held at the Royal Garden Hotel in London saw money raised through a balloon raffle, roving auction board and media auction on the night. The Toy Trust is hoping to replace the November ball with a summer event next year.

Toy Trust chairman Robert Mann commented: "This year's Toy Trust Ball at the Royal Garden Hotel proved even with reduced numbers to be a major success. Over £90,000 was raised on behalf of disadvantaged and handicapped children both in the UK and abroad. I cannot thank those that sponsored the event and those that donated to the raffle and media auction enough. Their support was further enhanced by the generous bidding from the suppliers present. This was the last Toy Trust Ball so it was great to finish with such a memorable event. Thanks to Natasha for providing a great theme and invigorating band."

The Toy Trust has revealed the total raised at its recent inaugural Summer Ball.

The Toy Trust has moved its annual charity ball from its traditional autumn slot to a summer date of June 23rd.

The full line-up for the Toy Trust’s Big Kids Bike Ride has been confirmed and ToyNews will be providing regular updates on the ride as the teams progress.

'The Toy Trust continues to achieve amazing results for the children’s charities it supports and all 200 heroes who completed last Saturday’s Big Challenge and raised £170,000 deserve a huge thank you,’ says the Toy Trust’s Foye Pascoe.

290 execs from the UK toy industry raise record amount of funds for three nominated charities.

‘It is our aim to have more industry colleagues than ever before involved and we have set ourselves a very challenging target of raising £250,000,’ says Toy Trust’s Foye Pascoe.

The Toy Trust is aiming to raise £10,000 with this year's special Christmas Card initiative.

The Toy Trust is already looking for riders and teams to commit to this year's Big Bike Ride, which takes place in May.
