A Christmas Drive - Shoebox Campaign

As Christmas approaches we thought we would try and get as much as possible to the women and children in Refuge. 

For the next two weeks we are asking you to fill a shoebox and send it to us at the address below.  They can be filled with anything from the usual list but in particular we are looking for things for the children:

Toys, books, puzzles, colouring pencils and pads, soft toys, pyjamas...anything that will fit into a shoebox.

I know our focus has been on skincare, essentials and makeup but at this time of year we really want to try and make life a little brighter for the children affected.

Please send your shoeboxes to:

Give and Makeup
c/o Dinos Barbers
16 Jerdan Place
Fulham
London
SW6 1BH

If your donation box is larger please email me for a separate address - Dinos is a local business to us that is fully supportive of the cause but their space is limited!

Thank you seems inadequate as an acknowledgement of the support we have received so far - we appreciate your support beyond words.

  1. What a superb idea. Will get on it.

    I don't at this moment have a shoe box so i am thinking that I may need to buy a pair of shoes first so that I can use it to fill with goodies.


    It's for the children, i'll take one for the team.


    In all seriousness.

    BRILLIANT IDEA
