Macclesfield: Ukrainian Christmas shoebox appeal launched for second year

Local volunteers have launched an appeal to get Christmas presents to children in Ukraine for a second year.

Last year, Macclesfield residents Jeanette and Craig Rice sent hundreds of shoeboxes to kids in Ukraine in time for Christmas.

This was thanks to the generous donations from the Macclesfield community. And now, One Project Ukraine, who are based in east Macclesfield, are doing it again.

You have until November 5 to get your donations in, and the image below suggests how to and what you can donate.

"Thank you to everyone for their support last year, and throughout the past 18 months," said Jeanette.

"We want to beat the 650 we sent last year."

If you are feeling extra generous, you could include £1 with your shoebox hand-in to help with transport costs.

One Project Ukraine is located on Unit 15, Turnock Street, (Off Brook Street), Macclesfield, SK11 7AP, where you can drop donations off.

One Project Ukraine is an volunteer-powered organisation.

As well as supporting Ukrainians in Macclesfield, they are still doing donations to the frontlines and to families still in the Eastern European country.

The Yuletide shoebox drive is the latest example of this.

It has been 574 since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has displaced millions.
