It’s time to start collecting for our annual Shoe-box 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. 

​

Everything will be exactly the same except—joy of joys—we can send chocolate in our shoe-boxes!! Also, the charity sends ‘home’ boxes for families.

​

This is a very exciting change 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.

​

For children:

Teddies/soft Toys
Soaps and flannels
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Drawing/writing books
Pencils, pens, rubbers, pencil sharpeners
