Wonderful WEE BOX stories
23 February 2021
This Lent, we’ve been overwhelmed by the wonderful #WEEBOX stories shared by our supporters.
You have found unique ways to virtually fundraise for us and distribute WEE BOXES. We wouldn’t be able to help children with disabilities in South Sudan without your support - thank you so much!
Please remember to tag SCIAF if you're supporting us online [@SCIAF on Twitter and Facebook; @SCIAF_insta on Instagram]. We love seeing what you're up to.
Check out the creative ways people across Scotland have been ensuring that our WEE BOX appeal thrives despite the circumstances.
Well done to the Vatican Voyagers
Pupils and teachers at St Bernadette’s are marching the 1,600 miles to the Vatican before Easter Sunday. They’re out walking rain, hail, or shine – what commitment! If you’re in the Falkirk area, look out for the #VaticanVoyager purple ribbons.
Queenie Stompers
The pupils and teachers at Queen Margaret Academy are walking 10,000 steps a day or doing a 5k each day – fantastic. We’re loving the adorable dog pics too – keep them coming!

Well worth a watch
Every year, the P7 class at St Francis Xavier Primary lead the way for pupils at their school to raise money for our #WEEBOX appeal. Watch their fantastic video above to learn how and why they support us.
COVID-safe Lenten packs
Father David included our WEE BOXES in his COVID-friendly Lenten packs. Thanks so much!
WEE BOX pick up point
Father Travers from St Mary’s in Coatbridge put his WEE BOXES on the front porch so that parishioners could collect them when out their daily walk. Wonderful!
We have been so proud of how schools and individuals have responded to the WEE BOX appeal throughout lockdown.
Glenn is a volunteer for SCIAF, and a keen writer. He talks about what the WEE BOX appeal means to him, and how he Acted in Hope for Lent.
Schools across Scotland are taking up sustainable ‘Acts of Hope’ to fundraise for our WEE BOX appeal.
