2011 Shoebox Appeal
A magnificent total of 131 boxes (with the help of Ainsdale Village Church) were sent in time for Christmas.
Once again a number of boxes were donated to the Help for Heroes appeal (a lot more than last year) and the soldiers in Afganistan responded with a letter which was read out by a serving soldier, and a special certificate for the Guides.
The Guides are so thrilled they have decided they want to do shoe boxes for the soldiers as a regular activity - not just for Xmas!
Children in Need
JFC raised £400 for this annual appeal - well done everyone!!
