We hope you enjoyed seeing the Facebook photos and videos of the 2018 distribution trip. If you haven’t already seen them, please do go and take a look as the team had a great time giving out YOUR shoeboxes.
Don’t forget to start collecting for the 2019 campaign. More information will be released in the summer!
Thanks again for all of your support.
Your boxes have arrived in Romania ready for our team to hand them out from Sunday onwards.
Keep an eye out on our Facebook page, where the Team will post daily updates.
The shoeboxes have all been collected and the grand total for 2018 is 9,363!
Thank you to EVERYONE who has contributed in whatever way, whether it be preparing a shoebox, knitting, allowing us to use their warehouse, donating cash, helping in the warehouse, or packing up the boxes for the wagon. We couldn’t do it without you.
Please keep an eye on our Facebook page – our volunteers are heading to Romania on 2nd December to hand out as many of your boxes as possible.
It’s November!
Which means it’s time to finish your shoeboxes and drop them off at one of our Drop Off Points. Please make sure you drop them off before 12th November as late boxes cannot be accepted.
Thank you so much for your support this year.
Your boxes will be checked in one of our Warehouses, loaded onto a wagon and sent off to Romania.
Our team of (self-funded) volunteers fly out on 2nd December to hand your boxes out all over Romania. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for photos of the visit.
Don’t forget, you can hand your shoeboxes in at any one of our drop off points from 1st – 12th November.
The list is here:
Drop off points and Warehouses 2018
Now it’s half term, children can have fun shopping for their shoebox and put it together!
Thank you to everyone who came to our Coffee Morning on Saturday!
We had a great time and hope you all enjoyed learning more about Boxes of Hope!
Thank you to everyone who baked for our cake stall or donated a raffle prize.
It’s almost time to drop your shoebox off at one of our designated drop off points!
The full list is available here:
Drop off points and Warehouses 2018
Please drop your boxes off between 1st and 12th November. We regret we are unable to accept boxes after 12th November at these points.
Thank you to all of those shops and businesses who have supported us by storing these boxes for us! We do appreciate your support.
Leaflets have been distributed to schools, shops, churches and other groups who kindly support us by preparing shoeboxes lovingly filled with toys, sweets and hygiene items.
Remember, you can drop your shoeboxes off at various locations which will be confirmed in the next couple of weeks. Boxes can be dropped off from 1st – 12th November but unfortunately, we cannot accept boxes after that date.
That’s because they head off on the wagon to Romania to be handed out by our team of volunteers in December.
You can download the leaflet from our website but if you need any further information, please contact us.
