Operation Christmas Child

It’s that time of year again.

Last year, we collected shoeboxes full of goodies in aid of the Operation Christmas Child campaign.

Staff and tenants donated the boxes which were sent to children in disadvantaged situations at home and abroad.

If possible, we would like to beat last year’s total of 123.

Boxes can be taken to any neighbourhood office and Jeanette Tinsley will also be collecting boxes at Mill Spring Court, Bootle. For gift ideas, please see below. 

Yes please, these gifts are fine..

Toys: Soft toys, tennis ball, finger puppet, jigsaw, yo-yo, building blocks, small musical instrument. For boys - trucks and cars. For girls - dolls, clip on earrings etc.
Educational supplies: Felt pens, pens, pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, colouring book, notepad, picture or puzzle book, chalk, pencil case, stickers etc.
Hygiene items: Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, comb, hair clips, bar of soap, flannel etc.
Other items: gloves, scarf, sunglasses, cap, hat, bangles, necklaces etc
