Love in A Box Appeal Deadline

Our Christmas Team are accepting donations and shoe boxes as part of their Love in a Box campaign, in partnership with the FSCI. Please bring any donations or wrapped shoe boxes to the Volunteering Hub by Friday 11 November.

The FSCI (Foundation for Social Change and Inclusion) help to deliver Christmas presents every year to those in need across South-eastern Europe, giving individuals the opportunity to open a present on Christmas Day full of gifts.

Donations can be dropped off at the Volunteering Hub between 10am-4pm from Monday to Friday. For guidance on what type of items can be included in the boxes, please visit the FSCI's Donation Guidelines page. Spare shoeboxes both wrapped and unwrapped are also being accepted and can also be dropped off at the Volunteering Hub.

You can find more about Love in a Box campaign as well as more upcoming Christmas projects on their Instagram page!
