Teams4U Shoe Box Appeal 2025

2025 Shoe Box Appeal - Teams4U web site

It is that time of year again when we start to fill shoeboxes for children who live in extreme poverty in Eastern Europe.

Who Gets the shoe Boxes?

This year the boxes will be heading to Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Bosnia and Romania.

Your shoebox will be given to a vulnerable child, or family, through schools, nurseries, hospitals and orphanages. Our aim is that each box is given in relationship with the local community as part of a long-term commitment to these children. Please be a part of this ongoing story that is continuing to impact and change lives by donating a shoebox to this year’s appeal!

Further Information:

There will be leaflets at the back of each of our churches, in Brimscombe, Rodborough and Woodchester, explaining how to pack a box. Flat pack boxes and a limited number of pre-wrapped shoeboxes will be available in September at 50p each. If you can get some pretty Christmas wrapping paper and wrap your own shoeboxes that will be much appreciated, the boxes and paper are treasured by the children.

There is also detailed information and videos online on the Teams4U web site - Shoebox Appeal here.

Completed shoe boxes need to be returned to St. Mary’s Woodchester by Sunday November 2nd at the very latest please.

Thank you for your kindness and love.
