WE would like to thank everyone who helped and contributed to the Christmas shoebox collection in Devizes.

With the help of a terrific team we collected and packed 2,119 boxes ready for transport to Odessa from the Devizes and Pewsey district.

Thank you also to all the knitters who worked so hard throughout the year.

We are already planning for next year and would welcome any additional help to knit blankets, hats, mittens, jumpers and scarves. If interested contact (01380) 726746.
