I was delighted to be introduced to Toybank about 10 years ago. Led by the inspirational and infectious Shweta, I was so impressed with her vision and drive to connect with less fortunate children through play, games and toys. I was delighted to support Shweta and have remained in touch ever since.
Toybank's goal is simple yet so difficult to achieve. Every child should have the opportunity to play with games and toys and to learn from that experience. I am incredibly proud to have played a very small part in Shweta's vision and look forward to remaining close to Toybank.
