I lead the shoebox campaign which is a nationwide shoebox gift appeal to provide Christmas gifts to vulnerable children and families.Shoebox gifts are given to vulnerable children, or families, through schools, nurseries, hospitals and orphanages. Our aim is that each box is given in relationship with the local community as part of a long-term commitment to these children.I work with volunteers and organisations nationally to ensure each campaign is a success.In February '22 I led our work in supporting people in war torn Ukraine and over the border in both Poland and Romania. I have been taking medically trained staff out to disability orphanages to try and improve the situation there. My trip in July was documented by the BBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48as_lU_jFs
