We are again taking part in the annual Link to Hope Shoebox Appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Link to Hope Shoebox appeal asks people to fill a shoebox for a family or an elderly couple.<\/p>\n\n\n

The appeal has been running since 1992 and over the years has delivered smiles to thousands of people in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. I do hope that we can do something to help these people, for whom life really is a struggle, especially in these difficult times. Last year we collected a record of 56 boxes. I wonder if we can beat that this year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a really simple idea, anyone can get involved. Just fill a shoebox with items for a family or an elderly couple – not just a child. Link to Hope suggests items such as shower gel\/ shampoo, family games, stationery items, gifts for mum and dad as well as sweets, soft toys, hats, scarves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are leaflets at the back of church and it is important to check the leaflet as they are very particular what can and cannot, be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, download a copy from the website and please ensure that you attach the check list to the outside of your box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full details are on the website: https:\/\/linktohope.co.uk\/shoebox-appeal-2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ask that boxes are brought to me, or left at the back of church, by Friday, 1st November to allow me time to take them to the collection point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
