We have a fine slection of Christmas decorations and artificial trees for sale now at the Barn outside of Peterhead. however these are selling fast so if you want to snap yourself up a bargain for the festive season, then make tracks to the Barn.

Every year for 20 years now, The New Hope Trust has organised a Christmas shoe-box parcel appeal, asking members of the public, schools, church groups, clubs and corporations to donate shoe-box sized parcels full of toys, sweets, items of clothing, toiletries and other miscellaneous items for the destitute and deprived orphans of Moldova, to whom Christmas would otherwise be just a battle for survival from freezing temperatures, inadequate shelter and chronic lack of food and medical supplies. Each year we receive thousands of such shoeboxes, and we’re happy to announce that this years Shoe-box appeal is now officially under way.  We would ask that all shoeboxes get to us no later than November 26th, to allow adequate time for processing and packing before we take them to Moldova.


Without your support, these orphans wouldn’t even know what Christmas was, so please, help us make this Christmas a special one for as many children as possible.


If you would like to take part in the appeal, details of the campaign and lists of items that you can put in your shoe-box can be found at our Christmas “Shoe-box” Parcel Appeal Page.
