The toys, such as naughts and crosses, rocking elephants, blackboards and Christmas elves are all hand made.
Ron Scrivener and Fred Kenworthy lead the team.
Mr Scrivener said that everyone is welcome to participate.
“We make sure they are fully trained on any machinery they operate,” he said.
“Men who had no experience surprise themselves with what they have achieved.
“It’s a fun place to work, and we support one another.”
Mr Kenworthy said that working with charities was very satisfying.
“We make some made to order pieces with any payment being used to fund the workshop,” he said.
“We welcome new team members, we know they’ll get great satisfaction from their involvement.”
Mr Templeman said he was proud to support the workshop.
