We are incredibly proud to share the outcome of a truly heart-warming community effort.
Thanks to the generosity of Kendal Care Home, Sandylands Methodist Church toddler and baby groups, and Sandgate School, a remarkable 157 Christmas shoeboxes have been lovingly donated to support young refugees aged 12โ14, helping to bring joy, dignity, and a sense of care this Christmas.
๐ฆ 73 boxes were collected directly from Kendal Care Home, Sandylands Methodist Church toddler and baby groups, and Sandgate School in the first round
๐ท ยฃ112 in cash donations was also raised to help with transportation
๐ The final image shows all 157 boxes carefully loaded and on their way to the lorry for onward delivery
Every single box represents thought, compassion, and a quiet message to a young person far from home: YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
From all of us at Kendal Care Home, thank you to everyone who donated, organised, packed, and supported this appeal. What an outstanding example of what a community can achieve when generosity leads the way.
๐๐ Together, youโve helped make Christmas truly meaningful for a young refugee. ๐๐
