Shoe Box Appeal 2024

Help us celebrate the festive season this year with our residents.

Fill. Wrap. Deliver

Help us to deliver 168 shoe boxes filled with gifts to all our residents and service users this Christmas. Donations are open now and will close on Monday 9th December.

Our Shoe Box gift giving appeal is a great way to support our residents this Christmas. Simply fill a shoe box with some items that our residents would like (ideas below), wrap it and then drop it off to us.
