We want to hugely thanks each and every school who has taken part. Every single box collected is another child who will receive a gift this Christmas!

Every year there are unsung heroes around the country who spend hours knitting for the Christmas Shoebox Appeal, and 2021 has been no different!

Bunny’s Shoebox Journey brings the story of the Christmas Shoebox Appeal to life for our smallest learners. Through this beautifully illustrated, heart-warming story...

Helga, aged 4, is one of 10 siblings that live in two rooms with their mum and dad. Not long ago she suffered a burn on her scalp. This shoebox meant the world to her.

The children were overwhelmed with their shoeboxes. They will use every single thing inside. The school age children were especially grateful to get school supplies and the eldest daughter was very happy with the puzzles. 

Did you know that there is snow in Africa? In Rita's village winter nights reach -6°!

Natalie is a single mum who lives in Transnistria. Her five children are aged 13, 9, 5, 4 & 1.

Whether you send it to someone far away that you sadly can't hug this year or give it to your next door neighbour to thank them for their support over the last year, it will definitely warm their heart to know that you've given a child the gift of joy this Christmas.

The boxes will be wrapped and ready to deliver at Christmas!
