Shoebox Appeal
Life can get tougher for our clients this time of year. Even with a roof over their heads, Christmas can be a difficult time for those who have recently lost their homes, and may have also lost contact with their friends and family.
However, we want to make sure no one is forgotten about this Christmas, and we need your help! We are asking for shoeboxes or bags, filled with the items below, so that we can give each of our clients a Christmas present this year.
What to include in your box:
- Shampoo
- Shower gel
- Roll on deodrant
- Brushes/ Combs
- Sweets
- Chocolate
- Pack of biscuits
- Novelty socks/socks
- Christmas decoration
- Gloves/ Handwarmers
- Mug
- Small Notepad, colouring or puzzle book.
- Hot chocolate or coffee sachet
You could even include a Christmas card to wish the person receiving your gifts a Happy Christmas!
Possible extras if space: small games, keyrings, mini torches, colouring pens, pocket diaries/planners/calendars and other festive or edible treats.
If you choose to wrap your shoe box, please wrap the lid and box separately.
