This year, Hallow Primary School and Hallow Church are delighted to be working together to support the Link to Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal.

Link to Hope sends shoeboxes to people experiencing poverty, hardship and isolation in Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria and Romania.

The 2026 appeal is particularly special because the boxes are prepared for families and elderly people, rather than just children.

Hallow School has already invited families to save their shoeboxes, and during the autumn term we hope to fill as many as possible to send off at the beginning of November.

If you would like to get involved watch out for more information soon! Whether you fill a box, donate an item or make a donation towards the shipment charge, you can help us share some hope this Christmas.

Hallow Primary School and Hallow Church – working together to share hope.

Link to Hope’s is a Christian charity and its aim is to combat poverty, give humanitarian aid and have special concern for the most disadvantaged. The poorest – especially people struggling to survive in poor villages that lack basic amenities that we take for granted
