What goes in the
boxes?
Gift Boxes
In addition to a main, ‘special gift’ we may include any of the following items in
a box made up as a birthday, Christmas or any special occasion gift for a child if
we have the items available.
The welfare professional who requests the box will try to give us as much
information as possible about anything the child particularly likes or if they
have any special interests. The more information we receive, the better we can
create a box specific to that particular child.
These are the types of things which we use in Gift Boxes

Emergency Boxes
The welfare professional ordering an
Emergency Box will have the freedom to
ask for whatever is required and we will do
what we can to help. We will provide
some items from stock but, within reason,
others may be purchased.
Although our supporters are generous with
items which they have acquired or their
own children have grown out of, not all
items are available directly from us due to
storage problems.
But, it is quite possible that one of our
supporters may have a specific item which
is required and this is where our Facebook
Group comes into its own. A request put
onto the Group Page can sometimes be
fulfilled by one of our members. This is a
wonderful outcome and matches someone
who is willing to donate a badly needed
item with someone in difficulties.
Items which go into Emergency Boxes
can include:
Toiletries
Soap
Sponge
Spongebag
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Infants
Cup
Dish
Spoon
Fork/pusher
Bodysuit
