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 it's wonderful 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. Please find the link below to the shoeboxes being distributed last year:
