Operation Christmas Child 2021

The Eco Warriors have launched Operation Christmas Child for the third year running. Last year was a great success with over 60 shoeboxes being donated.

We are hoping to bring hope and joy to children this Christmas, by providing them with a Christmas present underpinned by sharing the Good News.

Let’s try to get more shoeboxes than we did last year and change as many lives as possible. BRW Spirit Strong!
