29/9/2021

We are so grateful for your support to the Blythswood Shoebox Appeal over the past years, and would like to support the charity again this Christmas. Here's what they say:
Your kindness and generosity makes such a difference,
receiving a shoebox brings so much joy.
We are looking ahead to our Shoe Box Appeal 2021 and to helping
vulnerable communities across Eastern Europe.

We trust we will be able to deliver boxes and bags to
Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.

Filled shoeboxes and drawstring bags will both be gratefully received.

 ​We were overwhelmed with the amazing response to our appeal last year. Thank you so much.

75,218 shoeboxes and bags were donated and sent off to Eastern Europe.
KNITTING
They always need hats, scarfs and gloves. Some useful information and patterns are offered here.
MAIN APPEAL VIDEO
FILLER IDEAS
​The shoeboxes are full of creative, colourful and joyful gifts. Here are some ideas.
VIDEO FOR YOUNGER VIEWERS
The Shoebox checklist can be found here. If you would like to pack a box, please bring it to the joint service on 24 October at Saltoun Church,
​or drop it off in the Humbie Hub or at Alison MI's house between 22 and 25 October.

Thank you!

A NEW ADVENT CALENDAR

28/9/2021

 
After last year's very popular one, we would like to create another Advent Calendar. If you would like to make a contribution - perhaps an Advent song, story or poem, a craft idea or something interesting about Advent or Christmas, please contact us by Friday, 15 October with your idea. We can offer help with the filming if needed, and will offer the Advent Calendar as DVD again for those who can't access it online.
