THIS year the Blythswood Trust mark their 25th year of the Shoebox Appeal.
Blythswood brings hope to thousands in Europe, Africa and Asia and is committed to long-term care projects in Romania, enabling disadvantaged children and young people fulfil their potential.
Sending 115,932 boxes filled with goods to eight different countries last year, the trust hopes to exceed these numbers this year to mark a successful 25th anniversary of the project.
The Trust request that anyone willing to contribute to the appeal to bring their shoeboxes filled with even the most basic of goods to Prestwick South Parish Church by November 4.
