Donate a Christmas box for soldiers in Afghanistan

Crabb Curtis’s office in Euston Place, Leamington, will be a drop off point for Operation Shoebox, which encourages people to prepare a showbox full of treats and essential items for troops.

The boxes can contain toiletries for either men or women, small tins of food, sweets, chewing gum, magazines, notebooks, pens, books, socks, gloves, lunchbox packs of biscuits, pot noodles, small pots of preserves, sachets of soup, nuts, cereal bars and more.

Chocolate or aerosols cannot be accepted.

Boxes weigh no more than 1.8kg and have a maximum combined length, width and depth of 900mm with the greatest single dimension no more than 600mm.

A donation of £1 to cover transport costs is also requested.
