Urgent community help needed for SMILE London and Essex reach their Christmas Shoebox Appeal.

SMILE London and Essex have fallen drastically short of boxes for their Christmas Shoebox Appeal and as a result, this will be the first year the charity will not be able to reach their requested number of presents.

The charity are in need of 2400 boxes of presents however, with only today and tomorrow left, the team have less than 500 boxes.

Now, SMILE are reaching out to the community in an urgent plea to help them reach their target and provide gifts for so many children in the community who face a Christmas without gifts.

If you have any empty shoeboxes that the charity can wrap and fill, or even better if you have any wrapped shoeboxes filled with gifts, please bring them down to the charity hub 52 North Street, Romford.

Please help children in our community-every child deserves a gift.
