Every year Happyhansel takes part in the Blythswood Trust Shoe Box Appeal. Donations of everyday items that we may take for granted such as toothbrushes, soap, gloves and sweets are collected in school. Then shoe boxes, are covered in wrapping paper and  filled up with items for a person of a certain age and gender. These are gathered in Shetland and then transported down to the Scottish mainland before being taken on wards to their recipients  in Eastern Europe.
