I am taking part in this year’s “Love in a Box” appeal with a local charity, Children in Distress. This involves wrapping and packing shoeboxes full of gifts for children and OAPs in one of the most deprived areas of Romania. Boxes are delivered into hospitals, hospices and remote villages and these gifts are often the only things those children will ever receive.

In order to support the charity, I would like to create 100 boxes but to do this I need to raise £200 to pay the delivery costs. All donations will go directly to the charity to allow them to get to more children, OAPs in need and into even more remote areas where poverty levels are unimaginable.

Thanks in advance for supporting such a worthy cause. I’ll get busy wrapping and packing!
