We’ve decided to support the local shoebox appeal for the elderly. Many elderly people are lonely at Christmas time and would welcome a Christmas shoebox gift. Please send the shoeboxes in on Friday 15th December. You could wrap your shoebox in Christmas paper to make a lovely gift for someone.

Here are some ideas of what to put in the box;

• small boxes of chocolates
• gloves, hats or scarves
• crossword books
• books
• hot drinks, such as hot chocolate or Horlicks
• hand creams
• mints
• marmalade/jam
• biscuits
• slippers/socks
• tissues/hankerchiefs
• toiletries
• shower gels/ bubble bath/deodrant
• canned items/long lasting foods
• toothbrush/toothpaste (new)
• soap and flannel (new)
• candles and holders
• foldable brush/comb and mirror
• wind up torch
• sensory items (lavendar bag)

Do not include any medicines/medical products or alcohol.

Please donate what you can.
