Regional housebuilder Deanfield Homes has partnered with Chiltern Toy Bank, a local charity dedicated to bringing joy to children from families facing financial hardship in Buckinghamshire during the festive season.

As part of their commitment to supporting the local community, the Deanfield Homes team came together to donate a variety of new and pre-loved toys and gifts suitable for children aged 0–18. These contributions will ensure that children who might otherwise go without will receive something special this Christmas. Chiltern Toy Bank currently has 225 families registered for support.

Three members of the Deanfield Homes land team, Jordy Czerniuk, David Breslin and Wesley McCarthy volunteered at the toy bank. The trio spent time selecting and packing bespoke gift bags for each child, aligned with their interests that had been supplied by their families. The packages will then be delivered for parents and guardians to gift in time for Christmas Day.

Jordy Czerniuk, Land Manager at Deanfield Homes commented: “It was a great morning and a thoroughly rewarding experience. As a company, we are committed to building not just homes, but strong communities and working with charities such as Chiltern Toy Bank is another way of giving back locally”.

Samantha Horsman, Chairperson at Chiltern Toy Bank said: “Chiltern Toy Bank work every year to try and ease the burden on families during the festive season. We do this by providing toys and gifts free of charge for children aged 0-18years old. Along with those gifts we provide stocking fillers, toiletries and school packs. The support we receive from organisations, like Deanfield Homes, through donations and volunteering days is essential to help us reach out to as many families as possible.”
