Late Late Toy Show Appeal




The Late Late Toy Show Appeal is an annual fundraiser that has raised over €21 million for children's charities since it began in 2009. The appeal is held during the live broadcast of the Late Late Toy Show on RTÉ One on the last Friday of November.

The appeal is supported by a number of high-profile Irish celebrities, including Ryan Tubridy, who hosts the Late Late Toy Show, and Marty Whelan, who presents the Toy Show Appeal.

The appeal has been a huge success in recent years, with viewers donating a record-breaking €6.6 million in 2020 and €5.4 million last year.

The money raised by the appeal goes to a number of children's charities, including Barnardos, Children's Health Ireland, and the ISPCC.

These charities use the money to fund a variety of projects, including providing food and shelter for homeless children, supporting children with disabilities, and providing counseling for children who have been abused.

The Late Late Toy Show Appeal is a great way to make a difference in the lives of children in Ireland. By donating to the appeal, you can help to ensure that these children have the best possible start in life.
