Phoenix Motorcycle Training announces the return of its annual charity Toy Run in support of Rutherford School.
Phoenix Motorcycle Training is delighted to announce the return of its much-loved annual Toy Run, taking place on Saturday, 13 December 2025. This festive charity ride unites the motorcycle community in a celebration of generosity and holiday spirit — all in support of Rutherford School in South Croydon.
Now in its second decade, the Phoenix Toy Run has become a cherished tradition, bringing riders together for a day filled with camaraderie, festive fun, and meaningful giving. Each year, participants deliver gifts to Rutherford School, an independent specialist day school for students aged 19–25 with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).
As the only Toy Run received by Rutherford School each year, the event plays a vital role in supporting its students, dedicated staff, and families — helping to bring joy and comfort during the holiday season.
“We’re incredibly proud to continue this tradition and to support the wonderful community at Rutherford School,” said Ruth Jaffe, Event Organiser at Phoenix Motorcycle Training. “The Toy Run is about more than just gifts – it’s about connection, compassion, and making a difference where it truly matters,” added Abbie Winter, co-organiser of the event at Phoenix Motorcycle Training.
The Toy Run is open to all riders regardless of bike size or riding experience – anyone with a motorcycle and a valid CBT certificate is welcome to join. The Toy Run is all about bringing Christmas cheer to the students at Rutherford School as well as the general public on the way, so all riders are encouraged to dress up in festive costumes and decorate their bikes too. Prizes will be awarded for Best Bike, Best Rider, Best Rider and Pillion, plus other prizes. Riders are kindly asked to bring with them gifts from Rutherford School’s Wish List.
With the generous support of the Unity Support Riders, the Toy Run is set to be a safe, fun, and unforgettable event, ensuring that the students at Rutherford School receive the holiday joy they deserve.
Join us on Saturday, 13 December, and help us make a difference for these extraordinary people!
