102 Shoeboxes Donated To Teams4U Appeal

This year Princethorpe’s Chaplaincy Team has again supported the St Anne's, Wappenbury, Parish Shoe Box Appeal, to provide gifts for children overseas who would not otherwise receive a Christmas present.

A grand total of 102 boxes have been assembled and will be delivered next week to the local co-ordinator, ready to bring happiness and joy at this special time of year. They were packed full of little gifts and included educational and hygiene essentials, every day, ordinary items to us but of great value to those who receive the gift.

The boxes will be distributed by Teams4U and will be given to a vulnerable child, or family, through schools, nurseries, hospitals and orphanages. T4U share the shoeboxes through relationships with local communities as part of a long-term commitment to their children. They also provide financing for pre-school programmes to support education and development.

Our thanks go to all the pupils, parents and staff who have donated to the appeal this year and to our Chaplaincy helpers who assisted with assembling, sorting and packing the boxes.
