Our first Christmas shoebox is already here! 🎁❤️💙

A huge thank you to whoever has kindly donated our first box. Let’s see how many more we can collect!

We’re supporting our Christmas Shoebox Appeal to help bring a little warmth, kindness and Christmas cheer to people in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

🎄 Choose a label from our Christmas tree, fill a shoebox with a few thoughtful gifts and help make someone’s Christmas that little bit brighter.

🎁 Gifts can include hats, scarves, gloves, toiletries, chocolates, sweets, toys, hot drinks, stationery and other everyday essentials.

📦 Don’t have a shoebox? Don’t worry! We have some empty shoeboxes already wrapped and ready to fill, available here at the pub.

Important dates:
❤️ 11th November – deadline to guarantee delivery before Christmas.
💙 7th December – our final collection date.

Every box makes a difference. Let’s fill our tree and spread a little Christmas kindness. ❤️

Thank you for your support!
