Toys - boxes and boxes of toys for the children and also bigger toys for the nurseries, including ride on cars.

All in all it is a phenomenal shipment!

Shipping costs

A shipment like this costs a lot of money – £8,500 to be precise.

SLM have received a donation of £50 from Horsham URC towards sending out the shoe bags and a bookshop in St.Ives has also raised money from a sale of bric a brac to assist with the expenses, but funds are low. SLM would welcome any further contributions – big or small – to help towards the cost of getting these items to the folk in Sierra Leone, and supporting so many of those in need.
