We have worked with a church in Albania 
for a number of years now, helping the children there have a brighter Christmas. This year we will be collecting again for the shoebox appeal.
You can bring items to the October Pop-Up Cafe or drop them off at a collection point on Flowerdown and Locking Parklands (message us for addresses).
