Wales: Age Cymru - Gift Box Appeal 2024


We’re really excited to announce our Gift Box Appeal is back in 2024

We’re delighted to be working with Age Connects Wales and Care & Repair Cymru again this year. By working in partnership, means we can reach more older people across Wales.

Christmas can be a lonely time for many older people who have no close family to visit over the festive period, we hope that having a gift to open may make a huge difference.

How you can help:
  1. Find a shoe box - wrap the box and lid separately in Christmas paper, or you can use a festive pre-printed box
  2. Fill with gifts - suggestions on what you can include in your shoe box on our website
  3. Attach a label marking whether your gift is for a male, female or generic
  4. Please don't include personal information about yourself.
  5. Once your gift box is filled with wonderful gifts, you can drop them into a local office near you. Please ensure your gift boxes are delivered by Friday 29 November 2024.
For details of a local drop-off point near you, please visit our website.

Please help us to make this Christmas a little brighter and support our Gift Box Appeal.
