CHRISTMAS SHOEBOXES 2025🎄🎅 🎁
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A CHILDS CHRISTMAS?
Yes it's that time of year again when BW Rotary Club start the Christmas
Shoebox appeal for disadvantaged children in UKRAINE, MOLDOVA, MONTENEGRA, ROMANIA, AND POLAND.
Bishops Waltham Rotary are again asking if you would like to fill a Shoebox(s), that we will supply, with gifts which will be shipped out to Children in time for Christmas. They will be distributed by Rotary Clubs in those countries. If you would like to take part and fill a box or two please contact us through a Rotarian, you know or via Debbie on 07785 577801
or e-mail debbie.walker@bishopswalthamrotary.org.uk or via our Website bishopswalthamrotary.org.uk.
We can deliver a box or boxes to you, with all the instructions and collect once you have completed. Boxes must be ready for collection by the 18th October.
I am afraid we cannot take other boxes only those we provide which have been designed to fit into onward packing cases. This is to save cost on transport and gain the maximum number of boxes per large carton
Christmas Shoebox scheme 2024 a total of 500 were packed by you then packed into cartons for onward transmission
2025....Why are we supplying boxes now?
Its all about the cost of transport,
We need the boxes to be the same size because they are packed into removal cartons in 15's' so if the boxes are diferent sizes it means more cartons are needed and transport becomes more expensive!
We still need £2 stuck to the top of each box towards transport costs
Please contact us at the top of this page if you require a box to fill, date for their return to us in Bishops Waltham is the 17th October
So lets make a start, have a look at this video which explains how the box should be assembled decorated and filled. Copy and paste into your browser
