 This section outlines four important ways in which you can show your support for toy and leisure libraries in the UK, and help us to work with them in promoting the importance of play in child development and the right of adults with special needs to accessible leisure opportunities
Donations
As a Registered Charity (No. 270291 and SCO 39458) we welcome donations of all sizes, from individuals as well as charitable trusts. Simply send a cheque or postal order, payable to National Association of Toy & Leisure Libraries, with a covering letter stating that this is a donation. See the National Offices page for our list of addresses. If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid can be used to increase the value of your donation by allowing NATLL to reclaim the tax. CharityCard is a simple and flexible way to maximise your charitable giving: you pay your money into your special Charity Account, then CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) reclaims tax from the taxman and adds it to your balance so you have even more to give away - without any charge to the charities you choose.

Individual Membership
We welcome applications to join from anyone in the UK who believes in the value of toy libraries for young children and their families, in the leisure library concept for adults with learning difficulties, and in the importance of play. By becoming an individual member of the National Association of Toy & Leisure Libraries, you can strengthen our position as the national 'voice' on play. You can keep up to date with UK toy and leisure library activities and initiatives, putting forward your views and ideas and making use of a range of membership benefits. Individual membership costs £27 incl VAT per year (2008 rate). Contact the Membership Services Administrator by telephone on 020 7428 2288 or use our online contact form for full details.

Sponsorship
Toy manufacturers and retailers, and companies outside the toy industry, can support NATLL's work through sponsorship of a particular project. Sponsorship opportunities arise on a regular basis as new projects are planned, and in appropriate cases a new project may be initiated through a sponsorship offer. Contact the Chief Executive Officer on telephone 020 7428 2280 for an initial discussion.

Volunteers
If you live in the London area and can spare some time regularly to work in a small, friendly and busy office, then why not consider volunteering at NATLL's HQ near Euston. There is plenty of work to do - answering the phone, general administration, or often tasks which might need your particular skills and experience! We will pay all out-of-pocket expenses, and can provide references to prospective employers. Contact the Administration Manager on: telephone 020 7428 2280
