The charity encourages people to fill a shoebox with simple gifts that will then be sent to some of the world’s poorest countries, giving thousands of children a Christmas to remember.
The boxes are given to all age groups and are delivered to a number of countries including Albania, Romania and Pakistan.
Every year the charity, located at Hillington Park on 35-37 Montrose Road, is delighted with the generosity of its neighbours and hopes to make 2012 another successful year.
Alan Swanson of Blythswood Care said: “Every year we send over 100,000 shoeboxes across the world and we are grateful to everyone who has contributed to our appeal over the years. Even the most simplest of gifts can bring a smile to someone’s face and give them joy this Christmas. We always receive a wonderful response from people within Hillington Park including everyone at BAA Business Support Centre, and hopefully we can see the same again as Christmas approaches.”
“We’ve supported Blythswood Care Shoebox Appeal for a number of years,” says Grant Edmondson, Managing Director, Hillington Park. “We know that others on the Park ensure have a shoebox filled every year for this worthwhile cause and we hope that this year is another successful one for the charity.”
Blythswood Care also welcomes volunteers to come along and help at the sorting station throughout November. This can be on an individual basis or as a group.
