Flixton care home supports Manchester Shoebox Appeal

Residents and staff members at De Brook Lodge care home are supporting the Manchester Shoebox Appeal this Christmas by becoming a donation drop-off location.

The Manchester Shoebox Appeal, run by Manchester Street Angels, encourages communities to donate gifts for vulnerable people and animals who otherwise might receive nothing.

“By becoming a drop-off location for gift donations and spreading the spirit of giving, we hope to be able to make this festive season a special one for as many people as possible.”

Donations can be dropped off at: De Brook Lodge care home, 110 Irlam Road, Flixton, Manchester, M41 6NA by November 22, 2024.
