The Dnipro Kids Christmas Appeal - Update November 29th

Thanks to the kindheartedness of fellow Hibby's we now have a pallet, the necessary cardboard boxes and a facility to shrink wrap the pallet.

We also have kindly been offered a couple of collection points where people can drop things off, if you fancy. For now, anyone wishing to drop items off can do so at [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] by asking for Mark on arrival.

He does some great holiday deals too and is a Hibby to boot!!!

Anyone in West Lothian can get donations collected by myself by sending me a pm.

The committee have also received donations of soft toys, toys and jigsaws and baby clothes. We have also agreed to buy each of the kids a new Hoodie and Jeans from the Charity Funds, whilst dealing with the serious problem of ensuring all the kids get a flu jag before winter really kicks in.

As we mentioned in our earlier update, this year, Parcel Company [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] have came good, they have offered to deliver, FREE of Charge one pallet to Dnipro. which they will collect within the Edinburgh area and deliver straight to our helpers out there.

We still need a bit of help?

Clothes Donations for Kids between 5 and 16 - Many of you will know, we have had brilliant support over the years for babies clothes and related items, this is ongoing and we really appreciate it. We thought this time we would look to collect clothes for the older kids in our Orphanage, Odinkovka.

The kids age from anywhere from 5 to 16 and we have around 50 50 boy/girl split.

What we hoped to do was send new or nearly new (ie good condition) out to the kids of the various age groups. Things we were thinking of were Tracksuits, Hoodies, Jumpers, Trousers and Jeans and suchlike. Winters in Dnipropetrovsk can reach -20 and we would love to ensure every wee bairn had at least a change of warm clothes. We already buy the kids new coats and boots every winter, and as I said we have committed to getting them one pair of jeans and a hoody for Christmas, but we simply cannae fund full new wardrobes. Anyone in the 'ragtrade' who could help would be made most welcome!

Of course we also welcome toys and other items like soap and the like.

If you can help with any of the above, please leave a message on this thread or pm me or Steven Carr and we can make arrangements.

We plan to pack and wrap next weekend if possible to ensure the pallet gets there in time for our teams arrival

Thanks for taking the time to read this update!
