Owls Support Sheffield Shoebox Appeal!

While people in need may have access to basic items like toothbrushes, toiletries, and food, they rarely receive those small luxuries that make the holidays special. That’s why, this festive season, staff and students from Sheffield Wednesday FC Community Programme are supporting the Sheffield Shoebox Appeal, helping to brighten the holidays for young adults and vulnerable people across Sheffield.

If you’d like to get involved, you can put together your own shoebox filled with thoughtful gifts and treats.

- Money or religious items

Shoebox Collection Details
Ahead of SWFC’s home game against Cardiff City on Saturday, 23rd November, SWFCCP staff will be collecting shoeboxes from fans between 10:00 to 12:15. Drop-off stations will be at the main footbridge reception, with additional collection points around the stadium.

Sheffield Wednesday FC Community Programme would like to thank everyone who has already contributed to the appeal or plans to do so. Together, we can make this period a bit brighter for those in need.
