Our Christmas Shoebox Appeal officer, Theresa came us with this amazing way of spreading her shoebox shopping over the whole year and of keeping track of what you already have (which can be the hardest part!)

Your shoeboxes left in huge shipping containers from every corner of the country in November and December! Have a look through the grid to find out where your box has gone!

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. 

Bhek’musa 12 years old. His head teacher in Eswatini says he is one of the smartest students in the school! Bhek’musa loved the pencils, pens, eraser, and rubbers, as they will help him in school.
