Lots have been received from SKY, Warner Media, Nickelodeon, CITV, Five (Milkshake), SuperAwesome, Red Media Sales, Diversity Media Sales, Moobug, POP TV, Zoopla, Toys ’n’ Playthings, Toy News, Toy World, The Entertainer and Redan Publishing. Details of each can be viewed on the Toy Trust Media Auction page, which will be updated at intervals with the current highest bids.
Toy Trust committee chairman commented Graham Canning commented: “On behalf of the Toy Trust committee, I’d like to thank all our media partners for their continued, incredibly generous support of the Toy Trust Media Auction, which continues to offer a very competitive and attractive selection of slots to bid on.
“Without our media partners we would not be able to support so many causes that directly benefit children throughout the year. This annual fundraising activity is a popular part of the industry’s calendar and one that everyone benefits from”
