UNFORTUNATELY, WE WILL NOT BE DOING A 2023 SHOEBOX CAMPAIGN. PLEASE SEE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE FOR DETAILS.
The 2022 Boxes of Hope Shoebox Campaign is now underway!
Last year, we sent 9,245 shoeboxes to Romania which is incredible.
Our 2022 leaflet can be found here:
Your shoebox can be dropped off between 1st – 12th November at one of the places here:
Drop off points and Warehouses 2022
Please note Schools may have a different date.
Information:
The benefits of being a “local” charity are that a team from Cumbria takes the shoeboxes and brings pictures and stories back of the children who receive them and, as a small charity we have no staff to pay, so any surplus funding goes towards longer term educational support for these children. The boxes contain educational supplies such as pens and pencils, toys (such as dolls, cars and tennis balls), sweets and hygiene items such as face cloths and soap.
Children and adults alike love to fill a shoebox – it is a simple and fun thing to do, doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, and it really does make a difference to a child who has none of the basics we take for granted. For these children there is none of the commercialisation we endure for weeks leading up to Christmas. Many of them have never in their lives had a gift. Many have never had a toy.
