Communities in Eswatini, Africa, gather to march against gender based violence.

We are thrilled that this year we have received 44,749 online Christmas Shoeboxes which have been delivered to children in 13 countries across Africa and Eastern Europe.

The first of this year’s Christmas shoeboxes are being put together as we speak! Our partners in Rwanda & Transnistria have been busy sourcing all of the contents and reviewing the lists of the things you’ve added on our build-a-box page!

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.

Lorna has been a dedicated volunteer of the Christmas Shoebox Appeal for many years and because this year is so different Lorna has found a whole new way to support the appeal.
