Shoebox appeal

It's a 365 day process planning, preparing, collecting and distributing. However before the summer has got started, organised donors are already sending in there shoboxes to aid this years appeal.

Benefitting disadvantaged children and the elderly, shoe boxes will be distributed to ongoing projects across the UK and Overseas.

Last year collecting points ranged from Lerwick on the Shetland Islands to Arles in the Camargue region of Southern France.....

Supporting the ongoing work of organisations such as the Family Aid Foundation who varying assistance and support to the marginalised , mostly living in what can only be defined as abject poverty....

How can you help?  

As always we need more collecting points, schools, offices, churches, clubs. Tell your famillies, friends and colleagues about this and get them onboard.

Preparing a shoebox is an easy affair, either contact your local shoe shop for shoeboxes only please!! (not boots or oversized boxes) or alternatively make up a gift bag for a lady, man, boy or girl 

It does not need to be extravagant, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, combs, hankies, perfume, toys, scarves, gloves, but please no aerosol cans, sharp objects, foodstuffs or medicines. (though these can be accepted separately for distribution) 

All there is to do, is label your box to let us know who you have packed for, man, lady, boy or girl... If you wish to send a greeting that is fine, but please do not send money...

Deadline for boxes this year will be Friday 25th November, if you require posters, flyers, etc or wish to make a donation please call 01323 840641 or email simon@computersforcharities.org

Thank You
