52 Lives

#449 Pants & Socks Appeal

Request: Donations / Gifts from a wishlist / Kind messages

This week, we’d like to provide brand new pants and school socks for 50 children living in poverty in Oxfordshire.

A small charity in Witney called Apollos Clothing distributes school uniforms to children in need. The demand for pants and socks has gone through the roof this month but they aren’t able to fulfil all the requests.

With your help, we’d like to make sure every child given a uniform also receives a brand new packet of pants and socks to go with it.

We’ve set up a wishlist and will use all financial donations to buy more of what they need.

What We Need

1. Donations: We'll use 100% of your donations to provide pants, socks and any another essentials the children need.You can donate online or by text message using the details below (please note the text message number sometimes changes, so please double check it below before making a donation).

2. Gifts from a wishlist: We've set up a wishlist with some pants and socks. To buy something, please click the link below and choose the item you'd like to buy - just tick 'this is a gift' and choose the 'gift registry address' when you check out and it will be sent straight to Apollos Clothing to give to the children who need them.

What We Did

We were aiming to provide 50 children in need with a packet of new pants when they collected a school uniform from the Apollos clothing charity. But thanks to this amazing community, we have been able to provide 252 packets of pants as well as big bundles of socks and vests too! 

It may seem like a small thing, but having new, properly fitting underwear means so much to the children you have helped.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with this appeal, and thank you Apollos for the amazing work you do helping families living in poverty.
