Carriers of Hope  

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2022 

 
 
 

Carriers of Hope are a brilliant charity who support refugee and asylum seeker families across Coventry. Each Christmas they aim to collect hundreds of shoeboxes of presents for the children in these families and over the last few years CLM have done a great job of supporting this project.   

This year the number of families in desperate need in

Coventry has increased dramatically.

The City Council’s Social Services have now partnered with Carriers of Hope to ask for Christmas gifts for as many children and young people as possible who are not going to get any other Christmas presents this year.  

This is an incredible opportunity to help bless and support children and young people in Coventry who are living in poverty.  

 

This year we are collecting for teenagers



Step 1 – Find an empty shoebox (or shoebox-sized box with a separate lid) 

Step 2 – Wrap the box and lid separately in Christmas wrapping paper so it can still be opened 

Step 3 – Fill the box with presents for a boy or girl who is a teenager 

Step 4 - Put an elastic band around it. Please don’t stick it down.  

 

Fill the box with presents such as sweets, notebooks, pens, toiletries, small games, hats and scarves, fluffy socks, crafts, toothbrush and toothpaste, purse / wallet, headphones etc 

You choose what you think the teenager you’re packing for would like. 

 
 

 

Once you have filled the box write on the lid in permeant
marker if it is for a boy or girl and that it is for a teenager. 

You can drop the shoeboxes off to CLM in the lobby by the
carpark between 10am and 3pm Monday to Friday.

You can also bring them along on a Sunday.  
 

The shoeboxes of presents are to come to

CLM from now until Sunday 4th December.
