Residents are being urged to participate in the Rotary Shoebox Appeal.

Hythe and Waterside Rotary is supporting the Wessex Rotary Shoebox Scheme, which delivers shoeboxes filled with gifts to disadvantaged children.

Shoeboxes are sent to children in Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, and Ukraine (via Poland), ensuring they receive them in time for Christmas.
