progress with the shoebox appeal
The last few weeks have flown by and Christmas is now only 3 weeks away. Many of you have been busy completing and gathering shoeboxes along with food parcels, to send to the charity. We would like to say thanks to all those who have got involved in the appeal.
We know there are lots of individuals out there, plus organisations and schools, therefore we would like to thank:
If you are considering doing a shoebox there is still time but it would need to be done before 8th December. When doing boxes dont forget the boys! A sort through 200 boxes this weekend showed only a couple for boys aged 10-14.
If you have completed your boxes then don't forget to make a small donation online. The monies go towards the fuel and transport costs of us taking the boxes across Europe. Donations can be made through the TEECH MyDonate page which can be accessed by clicking on the purple button below.

If you have clothing or other donations, then please start sending them through from mid January. As the team will be away over Christmas we ask that nothing further is sent over that period.
