Our story
Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is incredible. Since 2010, with your help, we have delivered over 2.1 million Shoebox gifts to Vulnerable Children across the world.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal
With your help, we sent an outstanding 173,366 Christmas Shoebox gifts to children across 12 countries in Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. |
