Shoe Box Appeal 2026

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 🎄

Every year, as part of our Christmas appeal, we collect shoeboxes filled with thoughtful gifts for people in need across our local community.

We invite everyone to get involved by putting together a shoebox filled with essential items and little treats to bring some extra joy this Christmas. Boxes can be delivered to our head office at 9a Althorpe Street between the 9th November and 30th November, Monday – Friday 10:00am – 14:30pm.

We’ve prepared a handy list of suggested items, including toiletries, sweet treats and other useful essentials, to help you decide what to include.

We understand that life can get busy, so if you’re short on time, you can also make a donation instead. We’ll use your contribution to put together a shoebox on your behalf.

Every shoebox and every donation makes a difference. Thank you for helping us spread a little kindness and Christmas cheer to those who need it most in our local community! ❤️

We ask that if you would like to donate a shoebox that you register here:
