How can you Help?
You can choose to go together with friends or family and get a voucher for shoes or clothes or groceries with a lovely personal hand written message to its recipient
OR
Choose to do up a GiftBox or GiftBag (follow Steps 1-3 below)
STEP ONE: FIND A GIFTBOX / GIFTBAG
(similar in size to a shoebox/bootbox/biscuit box ideally with a lid).
Wrap the box and wrap the lid separately.
If you are doing a gift for a lady and can't find a box - a handbag (preferably a shoulder bag or small rucksack) will be perfect!
Label Male, Female, teenager, boy or girl (age for children)
Please be aware that the majority are adults - Both Male & Female equally required
STEP TWO – FILL THE GIFT-BOX
(Strictly NO money please)
