A Toy Donation Initiative Close to Our Hearts

This year, Socials with KL, a Surrey based marketing consultancy founded and led by Kirsty Lavell, made a conscious decision to give back to the local community and charities that are close to our hearts. Supporting others has always been important to us, and in 2025 we wanted to turn that intention into meaningful action.

As of 2025, Socials with KL provides a personalised approach to contemporary marketing, blending striking visuals, thoughtful strategy, and a genuine understanding of what makes each brand shine. But beyond marketing, this year marked an important personal milestone one rooted in gratitude, resilience, and community.

"Having faced my own health challenges over the years, I’ve experienced first hand the strength and kindness that can come from community support. It felt only right to give something back to the people, families, and organisations who offer comfort and care during the most difficult moments." stated Kirsty Lavell, CEO of Socials with KL.

With the incredible support of clients, friends, and local businesses, I’m proud to share that together we raised and donated £2,300 worth of brand new toys to underprivileged families, children in need, and young patients in hospitals.

These donations have been shared with Stripey Stork, Epsom Hospital, St George’s Hospital, St Helier Hospital, East Surrey Hospital, and Ronald McDonald House.

Dulcie Newbold states "On behalf of everyone at St George’s Hospital, I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for your incredibly generous donation of children’s toys. Your thoughtful contribution will bring so much joy to our young patients and their families during difficult times. It's kindness like yours that helps create a warmer, more supportive environment for everyone at St George’s, and we are so grateful for your support. We would also like to express our gratitude to everyone involved in the donation. It’s truly heartwarming to see how the community comes together to help, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful supporters like you. Thank you again for thinking of us and making such a meaningful impact."

Giving back is now a central part of our mission, and I’m deeply thankful to everyone who helped make this possible.
