Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal

National Collection Week (11-18 November 2024)

We will be supporting Operation Christmas Child again this year with their Christmas Shoebox campaign.  You are invited to fill a shoebox with items to delight children across the world on Christmas morning, assuring them that they are not forgotten and giving them an experience of love.

Shoe boxes are available from the Group Office or you can fill your own box. Why not join with some friends to fill a box, or fill a box from your organisation or club. Perhaps you are unable to get out and about or just don’t have the time to go shopping. Why not build a shoebox online! For details see the website: https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/shoebox-online  which will give full instructions.

Ideas for what to put inside are available at the Operation Christmas Child website: https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/how-to-pack-a-shoebox along with full instructions. 

If you are the crafty type there are also knitting, crochet and sewing patterns to download on the website here:https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/resources/54

Boxes must be returned to the Group Office by Monday 18th November 2022

The Group Office is open  Monday-Thursday 9:00am-12:30pm
