Our Appeals

At The Shoebox Fairies we run yearlong campaigns as well as our annual Christmas Shoebox Appeal. Find out more about our current and upcoming campaigns below.

Mother & Baby Boxes

We run a Mother and Baby box scheme for new mums and new-borns in living in difficult financial and social circumstances. Our boxes provide them with essentials (and some treats) for their first few weeks on their parenting journey. We work with Public Health midwives and other organisations locally in our borough to distribute our boxes.

New Beginnings 

Our campaign focuses on victims fleeing domestic abuse and asylum seekers leaving persecution who are hoping to start a new life. Our boxes contain items, such as clothing, self care items and a personal attack alarm.

Christmas

Our biggest appeal by far! We use shoebox appeals to donate essential items to those living in difficult social and economic circumstances at Christmas time.  We collect boxes for children, young adults, older adults and those who are homeless.

Birthday Surprise

Birthday in a Box

Our new appeal launched in Summer 2024 provides children experiencing difficult social/financial circumstances to receieve a special "Birthday in a Box". Each box contains a cake, partyware items and specially selected gifts.
