Other Points to note:

Shoeboxes

Time to start thinking “inside the box” again! Thank you for boxes already donated — we have ten covered and ready.

Can we concentrate on the things on the list please? Last time we had a shortage of toiletries so they will be a focus this time (soap and shampoo). Also can we think about the size of the item and if it will fit inside the box – e.g. A4 colouring books, very long screwdrivers and bulky clothing. No baby clothes please — Blythswood request. Thank you. It’s winter so we will start with gloves/ mittens for everyone from 3 years old upwards. Hats and scarves are welcome too although the knitters are hard at work on these.

Thank you for your support and all your donations.

Library

We have a library in the cupboards in the hall. Please feel free to borrow as many as you like. Most of the books are arranged in alphabetical order of author with a few smaller sections – prayer, anxiety and depression, biography etc. We also have a small selection of children’s books in the small bookcase. It is hoped to be able to expand this in time. Enjoy!
