Report written by Portsmouth runner
The Hive were requesting shoe boxes, adult or children sized, wrapped in Xmas paper or not!
Also items to go in the boxes, a list of suggestions were provided.
So buying a roll of Xmas paper much earlier than I ever have before - I started wrapping boxes.
John & I got on with asking for donations - between us, family & work colleagues we collected quite a collection of toys, toiletries, hats etc. Our dining table soon looked like a toy shop!
We donated boxes & items separately as I think they will organise filling the boxes. John dropped off two bags last week & then helped me drop off the rest of the bags today.
We had such a lovely response from the staff when we dropped them off. I am sure there will a lot of children benefiting from everyone’s kindness.
