Launch of the Clitheroe Salvation Army's toy library postponed

The toy library was set to open this Thursday (March 26th) allowing members of the local community to loan toys for a period of two weeks. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, a new opening date will be arranged later in the year.

Aux-Captian Elizabeth Smith, joint leader of the Clitheroe church and community centre, said: “Entertaining children can often be expensive with developmental and educational toys being the most beneficial to a child’s growth and development, but to some families those kind of toys are not always accessible or affordable. The toy library is another level of support that we will soon offer to the local community which will also bring a lot of new people together whilst giving children the best start in life. A regular change in toys stimulates new interest without the hefty price tag!”
