Unbelievable but it is Christmas shoebox time of year again! Leaflets for this year\u2019s appeal are at the back of church; it would be wonderful if you could fill a box for our St Edmund\u2019s Blythswood appeal this year. Once again, all the boxes we collect will be distributed in Kosovo. There is more information about the 2025 shoebox appeal and videos of last year\u2019s boxes being distributed on Blythswood\u2019s website.
