We have lots of enquiries via our Facebook page each year. Here are a few of our Frequently Asked Questions, answered!

What can I put in a shoebox?
Please see our leaflet for ideas: 2019 Boxes of Hope A4 Leaflet

What can I NOT put in a shoebox?
We ask that people don’t put in: toy soldiers, loom bands, bubbles, damaged toys, dirty clothing and anything which may cause harm to a child, such as scissors or sharp items.

When can I drop my shoebox off?
Shoeboxes can be dropped off at one of our drop off points between 1st and 12th November. The Drop Off points are put on our website at the end of October. Please note some school deadlines are different, so please check with your school.

What happens if I miss the deadline?
Unfortunately, the shoeboxes set off to Romania overland and so if you miss the deadline, we ask that you keep the shoebox until next years’ campaign.
