Christmas Shoe Box
Appeal

Rotary Christmas Shoe Box Appeal

This year we hope to fill 50 boxes with toys, household products and gifts for children and adults in some of the poorest countries in Europe (Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and Romania). In many cases the children and adults that receive these gifts live in very poor conditions and your contributions bring so much joy to the recipient. If you would like to make a Shoe Box gift, please click on the button below for instructions. Please bring your boxes into Church by Sunday 1st December.

Christmas Chocolates for
Peterborough Prison

 

Frumenty Folk Band

St Botolph's will once again be collecting tubs of chocolates for prisoners at HMPP. As before, these gifts from local churches and others will be divided up by the Chaplaincy team and distributed along with a card and diary as a gift to each prisoner. They are much appreciated by recipients and reassure those feeling particularly alone that others "on the out" are thinking of them.

The closing dates for receiving our gifts at HMPP is 2nd and 3rd of December and so the tubs need to be in church by Sunday 1st December at the latest, so they can be taken in on the Monday.

Food Bank

The Food Bank is seriously short of supplies, especially:
1 ltr bottles of squash, cereals (500gm boxes), jam, long life fruit juice, packets of biscuits, puddings/desserts, rice (500gm packets), small jars of coffee, toiletries.

Bank the Food is a charity set up to make sure foodbanks get exactly what they need – and not just baked beans. You can download their App which will enable you to see what the local foodbank needs at any time.
