Toy Hub’s mission is to ensure every local child has a gift to open at Christmas, by providing parents and caregivers with unwrapped, age appropriate gifts.
https://www.toyhub.org/copy-of-home
It works a bit like a pop-up shop to be honest! We appear for approximately six weeks of the year, and with the support of our local community, we mange to sort, pack and deliver new and like-new, un-wrapped gifts for hundreds of children in the lead up to Christmas. Why so early we hear you ask? Quite simply, to avoid any un-due worry for the grown-ups that we are supporting.
This is what it looks like:
*How do we know what to pack? We have a system which involves lots of individually labelled tags and separate packing lists to make sure we don’t miss anything.
We deliver everything un-wrapped. Why? We don’t provide support to children, we provide support to the grown-ups so that they can gift to their children.
The obvious one, money. We are so immensely grateful for the financial support we’ve received so far. We are always happy to have conversations about how you can support us with this.
The support of our local community! Whether that be a physical donation or a financial one, letting us put up a big banner, being a donation point, lending us a huge warehouse space. The list is endless to be honest.
Donations. We depend on physical donations from our local community of new and like new gifts for children aged 0-18. Without these, we wouldn’t be able to provide any support.
The super heroes aka our volunteers. All this would be impossible without the support of our wonderful volunteers! Collecting, sorting and packing thousands of donations in the space of a few weeks is no mean feat. We are truly grateful for the support we receive each year. Our volunteers are precious individuals and key to Toy Hub succeeding each year.
St Mary’s Church in Ivinghoe is a Toy Hub donation point.

We offer free taster sessions for these classes. A team of coaches lead these sessions; however, parents are also required to be in this session supporting their child. Little stars classes are a fantastic way for children to make friends and socialise from a young age. In our little stars classes we aim to introduce your child to gymnastics in a fun and exciting way whilst they are developing their co-ordination and strength.
-We run structured diamonds classes on weekends at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00, as well as on Mondays 12:45-13:30 and 13:45-14:30, Tuesdays 13:00-13:45, Wednesdays 10:45-11:30 and 13:00-13:45, Thursdays 10:45-11:30 and Fridays 11:45-12:30 and 13:00-13:45. Diamonds classes are the first sessions, which are structured without a parent in the gym and they are 45 minutes in length. This class allows children to develop their gymnastics skills, in addition to independence before starting school. Each week the sessions are based on a new theme, this is to help keep our pre-schoolers engaged and to make it fun and interactive when learning new skills. This class if for children aged 3 up to reception age.

-We run a home education gymnastics class on Thursdays 11:45-12:30.Our Home Ed classes came to life following the very first lockdown when home schooling became increasingly popular. These sessions run for 45 minutes but are tailored to the skill level of your gymnast. We have found these sessions to be fantastic for children to develop social skills whilst they are participating in physical activity. This class is for children who are primary school aged.
-We run a senior’s class for over 60’s on Thursdays 13:00-13:45 which is gymnastics inspired fitness, to develop strength, mobility and co-ordination. We offer a free taster session for this class.

Established in year 2000 The Millennium Education Foundation provides financial awards to assist students in their further education.

The foundation considers applications from young people with a variety of personal and family circumstances that limit their choices.
Who can apply for an award?
Any full time student under the age of 22, who has lived for a at least 3 years in Aldbury, Long Marston, Marsworth, Pitstone, Puttenham, Tring, Wiggington or Wilstone.
What do the awards cover?
The awards are intended to help towards the cost of tuition fees, accommodation, books, other equipment, travel costs and any other justified expenses of eligible students. Awards usually cover a period of three years.
How do I apply for an award?
Applications are invited in the autumn preceding the first academic year of study. Application forms with details of the application deadline are available from The Secretary to the Trustees, Elaine Winter: Telephone 01442 827913 or email info@tringcharities.co.uk
You will be asked for your academic record and details of your further education plans. Your parents/guardians will be asked to supply financial information. Two relevant 3rd party references will be required.
What will happen once I’ve applied?
If you appear to be eligible you will be asked to attend an interview where you will have the opportunity to discuss your plans for the future and ask any questions you may have. Parents or Guardians of successful applicants will be visited by a Trustee to confirm financial information. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application in good time to finalise their choice of further education.
Further information available here: https://tringcharities.co.uk/education/
Do you need a helping hand to step-up to the next level?
Pitstone Step–Up Grants are grants available to eligible Pitstone residents, funded from income from a local charity*. They are designed to relieve hardship, need or distress by enabling the long-term transformation of the recipient’s quality of life in some way. This could be through removing barriers to enable an individual to pursue a life-improving opportunity that would otherwise have been unaffordable, or to complete some form of training or upskilling that will demonstrably improve their professional or earning potential, where funding is not available from another source.
* Pitstone Parish Charity, Registration Number: 261752
Education Step-Up Grants:
These will enable the recipient to pursue opportunities as part of their formal education that would otherwise be unaffordable. They can be used to meet costs associated with accessing any level of formal education from primary school to postgraduate or gaining professional qualifications. Grants may be considered for multiple years where applicable, but an award of a grant in one year is not a guarantee of funding for subsequent applications. An Education Step-Up Grant may be considered for things like assistance with a bus pass if taking up a school place farther afield, cost of college equipment or providing a deposit for university rental accommodation. The maximum grant will normally be £1,500.
Career Step-Up Grants:
Theses enable the recipient to undertake training or obtain specific tools or equipment in order to make a step change in their ability to pursue a particular career and enhance their earning potential. Examples of Career Step-Up Grants might include paying for someone working as a parcel delivery driver to undertake an HGV training course, or a grant towards the cost of tools to become a self-employed plumber after completing the required qualification course. The maximum grant will normally be £2,500.
Life Step-Up Grants:
These will cover the costs of particular activities designed to enhance life skills through specific experiences. Life Step-Up Grants could include contributions towards participation in specific experiences or schemes designed to expand the horizons and experiences of participants. The maximum grant will normally be £1,000.
Community Organisation Step-Up Grants:
These will contribute towards the costs of a specific project being undertaken by any community organisation active within the parish where the work is intended to serve those in the parish facing particular barriers in life. They can be used towards capital or revenue costs but cannot be used to cover core operating or annually recurring costs. Community Organisation Step-Up Grants are for those organisations that are tackling need, hardship or distress in the community, for example providing food or assistance. (If your group has a more general need, please apply tor a Parish Council grant instead.) The maximum grant will normally be £5,000.
Helping Out Grants:
Although it is anticipated that the vast majority of grants will be made within the four categories shown above, applications will be considered to assist with situations that do not fall within any of them but still meet the charity’s criteria of relieving need, hardship or distress. The same requirements will exist to demonstrate a clear need and show what the impact will be on improving the quality of life of the recipient. An example of which may include assistance towards the installation of a ramp if a resident becomes a wheelchair user. The maximum grant will normally be £1,000.
To Apply:
Read the Grant Making Policy and Application Guidelines (both documents downloadable below), then complete the Application Form (downloadable below, or fill in the online form at the bottom of the page) . If you’d like us to deliver a copy of the documents to your home, please call 01296 767261 or email stepupgrants@pitstone.co.uk and we’ll happily drop it off to you.
Application Deadlines:
Grant applications will be considered four times each year. Your application needs to reach us by:
Pitstone Town Lands Charity
If you are in need, hardship or distress but have a short term or specific need such as help buying spectacles or white goods, you should contact Pitstone Town Lands Charity rather than Pitstone Step-Up Grants. Please ring Gill Lowe on 01296 668809 or email her on gill.lowe@pitstone.email.

It’s the season of giving – and recycling! As usual, bin collections across Buckinghamshire will be operating to a revised timetable over the Christmas Holiday period. As we produce around 30% more waste during the holiday period, it’s important to reduce, reuse and recycle while we enjoy the seasonal festivities. You can make good use of leftover food, donate unwanted gifts and recycle Christmas cards and other Christmas packaging – there is some great and cost-effective ways to be environmentally friendly over Christmas.
Here are some Christmas items you can recycle at home for a greener Christmas:
Please ensure you fold and flatten cardboard to a manageable size and place any extra cardboard securely next to your recycling container. Please also remove any other packaging, like polystyrene or Sellotape!
After the festive season is over, you can also dispose of your Christmas tree, wreaths, holly and mistletoe with our garden waste collection service. If you are a garden waste customer, you can simply remove all decorations, cut the tree into smaller pieces, and place the pieces in your garden waste bin. If you are not currently subscribed to our garden waste collection service, you can either take the tree to your nearest household recycling centre or see if there is a local charity collection near you.
Buckinghamshire’s Household Recycling Centres will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
All other days over the Christmas period, whether Bank Holidays or not, our sites will operate the usual opening days and hours (9am-4pm). Check online before you visit to confirm opening hours and avoid the queues. You can visit our website for all the latest Household Recycling Centre information.
During the festive period, bin collections across Buckinghamshire will be operating with a slightly altered timetable. Collections due to take place on Monday 26 December (Boxing Day) will move to Wednesday 28 December. Collections due to take place on Tuesday 27 December (Christmas Bank Holiday) will move to Thursday 29 December, and collections from Monday 2 January (New Year Bank Holiday) will be collected Wednesday 4 January. Please check the revised timetable below and present any bins or containers by 6:30am on the revised collection day.
Garden waste collection service will also operate with an alternative timetable, as from Monday 12 December to Sunday 22 January 2023 (inclusive) our garden waste collection service will be suspended for six weeks. Collections will resume from Monday 23 January 2023.
Christmas bank holiday collections:
| Usual collection day | Revised collection day |
| Monday 26 December (Boxing Day) | Wednesday 28 December |
| Tuesday 27 December (Christmas Bank Holiday) | Thursday 29 December |
| Wednesday 28 December | Friday 30 December |

Shop Local with Tring Farmers’ Market
Do you know where your food and drink comes from? Do you know who makes and grows the products you buy? Do you want to shop locally and reduce your food miles? Come along to Tring Farmers’ Market where you can speak to the stallholders and find out exactly how things are produced or grown and where they have come from.
The market takes place twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays at the Market Place in Brook Street, Tring. Except in December when it is on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays. There is easy free 1 hour parking in the Forge Car Park just off the High Street which adjoins The Market Place, but don’t forget to get your ticket. It’s just a short walk down to the market where we have a wide selection of stalls for you to browse. Bread, meat, eggs, plants, cut flowers, charcuterie, juices, British cheese, gifts, home products, second-hand books, cosmetics, candles, cakes, preserves, sauces, the list goes on and on! We often have the Market Mynstralls playing folk music and sometimes even Morris dancing.
All our stallholders come from within a 30 mile radius of Tring and grow, make or produce everything they sell. With some exceptions, for fruit and vegetables, which are bought in, but local when in season and Eco Home products which we think are a vital part to a sustainable way of life that the market promotes. Think about all the food miles you could save!
We also have Fair Trade products and support two local charity stalls. Akeman Street Baptist Church who provides free fair trade hot drinks to everyone, friendly chats and a chance to pick up great Christian literature. They also have fair trade chocolate at bargain prices and beautiful greetings cards! Money raised by them goes to a farm-based charity in Leeds called Caring for Life that care for society’s lost and vulnerable souls.
Our wonderful second-hand charity bookstall raises money for Hector’s House and The Hospice of St Francis. All the books are £1 and donations are welcome too.

• Ensure your dog is microchipped and the contact details for you are up to date. • Where possible, do not leave your dog tied up outside a shop, business or play park. • Vary the times and routes of where/when you walk your dog. • If you notice anyone or anything suspicious, report it to us ASAP. • Have photographs of you with your dog so it is easier to prove ownership should you need to. Also make a note of any distinctive markings on your dog. • Never leave your dog alone in a vehicle even if you are quickly running into a shop. • Consider having your dog spayed/neutered as this makes them less attractive to thieves as they cannot be used for breeding. • Avoid displaying “Beware of the dog” signs outside your property as this advertises that a dog lives at the address. • If your dog is off the lead, make sure they are well trained at responding to commands and has a good recall. • Do not leave your dog unattended in the garden. Consider putting a bell on your garden gate which would alert you to someone opening it. • Avoid putting your dog’s name on its collar tag. Knowing a dog’s name allows anyone to be able to call them.

This walk is about 3.5 miles long. An easy stretch for a Sunday afternoon.
Starting from the Memorial Hall car park go across the recreation ground to the roundabout and turn right up Marsworth Road towards the village. After about 200 yards take the smaller gate on your right into the permissive footpath surrounding the allotments. Do not enter the allotment site.
Follow this path round till you come to a farm track. Turn left and follow the track straight up till you reach the road by the Silver Birch. Beware that this path can be muddy in parts in the winter.
Cross the road taking great care. This is the safest place to cross the road. Cross the narrow field on the permissive footpath. Go through the hole in the hedge and turn left onto Footpath 7
Continue on this footpath over a stile, across the field entrance and round to your right parallel with Stocks Road and continue up the hill.
When you reach the top of this path go through the gate and turn right. Follow the wide path till you reach the well trodden path coming down from the top of the hill (Picadilly). Turn right here and climb up to the highest point. On your way note the overgrown copse on your right. This is the AA wood planted in the 50’s by members of the AA with neither permission or plan for maintenance. Also note a dug out pocket beside the path to your right. This is the Pitstone home guard gun emplacement from World War II.
Admire the view from the highest point including All Saints, Leighton Buzzard to your right and County Council building in Aylesbury to your left.
When you reach a post with blue arrow bear right and follow the path downwards till you reach the gate into Aldbury Nowers. Do not go through the gate.
Turn down the hill which is quite steep at this point. Go straight on through the gate onto the footpath going down the side of the quarry. After you have been through the metal barrier at the bottom turn right to walk on a footpath parallel with the road.
At the end cross onto the road near the roundabout. Take care here and make your way across the roundabout and along Westfield Road.
Follow the Footpath sign across the quarry to Church Road. At the end of Church Road turn left and follow Vicarage Road back to the Memorial Hall.
