Blythswood Shoebox Appeal 2017

Today we are launching our annual appeal for Blythswood Shoeboxes.

Blythswood Care provides an annual gift for people in deprived areas of the world. This provides many people with hope and joy that they would otherwise be without at this special time of year. In 2016 Blythswood Care distributed 121,474 shoeboxes in 9 countries, to people who may otherwise go without any gifts at all.

In your Tutor groups you will have the opportunity to contribute to create a gift for someone in need this Christmas. Checklists are available with all the vital items to be included as well as a few added extras. Please place items in shoeboxes which have the top and base covered separately.

Last year we managed to exceed our target of collecting 250 boxes, we collected over 27! This year we are aiming to make 300 shoeboxes.
