๐๐ CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX APPEAL 2026 ๐๐
โค๏ธ Small Gifts, Big Smiles! โค๏ธ
This Christmas, Barry RFC Sports & Community Hub is proud to be joining forces with About Turn Wales / Barod I Troi Cymru, in support of Tลท Hafan Children's Hospice, to help bring a little extra joy, comfort and happiness to children and families facing incredibly difficult circumstances.
Christmas should be a magical time for every child. Sadly, for families caring for children with life-shortening conditions, the festive season can bring challenges that many of us can only imagine.
Together, weโre asking our wonderful community to help us make a difference. โค๏ธ

๐งธ Soft toys and comforting companions
๐๏ธ Cosy blankets and fleece throws

๐ Sensory and therapeutic toys
๐ Books and thoughtful gifts for parents and carers
Gifts are welcome for all ages, from babies and toddlers through to teenagers aged 17+.

๐ A COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER
Whether youโre an individual, family, local business, school, sports club or community organisation, weโd love you to get involved.
