Wellington City Mission are joining forces with Vinnies charity shops and opening the city's first ever free toy shop for those without the resources to buy toys themselves for their children. The toyshop is the result of years of trials, leading to a collaboration between the two charities and aims to give low-income people dignity in gift-giving. Wellington City Missioner, Murray Eldridge explains how it works.
