It’s time to start collecting for our annual Shoebox Weekend. This year we are doing our shoe-boxes for a charity called Teams4u. This is a charity run by Dave Cooke, who originally started the shoe-box campaign back in 1990. 

​

Our annual Shoebox Weekend will be held on Saturday and Sunday, 4th and 5th December.  The Sunday will also be our Toy Service and Christmas Jumper Day.  There will be collection boxes at the back of church for shoebox donations and it would be great if you could come along to the hall on 4th December to help fill the boxes. To find out more, or to volunteer, speak to Pauline.

This is a very exciting time for St Chad's, and we would love for everyone to get involved. Below is a list of items we can include in our boxes.
