Listen: Dilly Carter giving tips on what to do with unwanted toys

Seven in 10 parents admit their kids have ‘piles’ of toys still in their packages from birthdays and Christmases they never play with. 

In fact, children have as many as eight unused toys, which could be worth more than £90.

The data also revealed nearly four in 10 (37%) believe their kids have a few favourite toys and ignore the rest, while 33% admit they spend more time on screens than playing with toys.

The research was commissioned by Skipton Building Society as part of its Christmas charity toy collection for various charities, including Cash for Kids – Mission Christmas, with its branches nationwide accepting unopened contributions.

Aston spoke to TV presenter & professional organiser Dilly Carter & Helen McGinty from Skipton Building Society.
