The Shoebox Project
The shoebox project is run by Celeb FC and Sutton Night Watch, where they collect shoeboxes and fill them up with all kinds of essentials that homeless people might need. This includes toiletries, underwear, torches, chocolates (because who doesn't love chocolate?), hats, gloves, scarves and of course SOCKS (thanks to our lovely customers).
Once these boxes are filled, the Sutton Night Watch service team drive around London and give boxes to any homeless person they see sleeping out in the cold at night. We donated almost 100 pairs of socks for this project.
It was such a simple but creative project to be part of, thank you Sutton Night Watch and CelebFC, we cannot wait to deliver more socks to you!
If you like the sound of this and want to help them out, Sutton Night Watch are running a '55 Appeal' - their dream is to open up a full-time premises of their own to continue supporting the homeless and vulnerable in the London Borough of Sutton. Make a donation today.
