Road of Hope Shoebox Appeal

24th Sep 2018

It's nearly that time of year again...Ho Ho Ho! 🎅🏼 🤶🏼 🎁

We are continuing to work with Road of Hope and taking part in the shoebox appeal this year after its superb success in previous years. Road of Hope is a cross community charity that donates gift filled Christmas Shoeboxes to the desperately underprivileged in Eastern Europe. Last year, we donated over 100 shoeboxes and the charity donated 11,000 in total.

All shoeboxes are to be delivered to school by Tuesday 23rd October 2018. Shoeboxes can be left in the main foyer of the school.
