NB Please register with us and we will send your leaflets out to you if you are going to do more than 5 shoeboxes. This is very important and is so we can plan our logistics properly, Please do not use last years leaflet as it has changed. We would rather send you the original leaflets if at all possible.

SCHOOL & CHURCH PRESENTATION RESOURCES
We welcome schools and churches getting involved in the Family & Elderly Shoebox Appeal. As we are a very small team we can’t go all over the country doing presentations as much as we would like too ( or perhaps we can – see below). Therefore we have put together a series of presentations that we hope will engage your students and congregations in the Shoebox Appeal and help them understand what their shoeboxes are helping to achieve, which is to show love to some of the poorest people in Eastern Europe.
NEW – However if your school/church/group has access to online facilities eg Zoom and a large white screen/wall then we would be delighted to do a ‘live’ presentation for you. Its us but just electronically. We can talk just as we would if we were there in person, do a presentation, do Q & A’s and aim to engage supporters in the Shoebox Appeal or the work of Link to Hope. Do contact Lisa our General Manager directly if this is something you might like us to do for you on lisahector@linktohope.co.uk
ALSO NEW FOR 2020 – we have recorded a 15 min presentation perfect for assemblies and church meeting as well as for other organisations. It includes the background to the Shoebox Appeal, why we help others, how to pack a shoebox plus how to fill out the customs form.
Also an 8 min video on How to Pack a Shoebox – https://youtu.be/0twDg5V_Z7M

BRING & BOX RESOURCES
We are anxious to make sure that making a shoebox is a joy and not a (financial) burden. We would highly recommend getting together a group of people/friends/colleagues/family members and having a Bring & Box Party. Each person brings in an item for the shoebox and one person brings in the £3 to cover the transport etc. Then you can buy different items in the run up to the appeal and then the financial expenditure is not so great. Here are a few resources that will help you organise your Bring & Box party.
