Royal shoebox visit

The 2008 OCC campaign received a touch of royalty when HRH Princess Anne paid a visit to staff and volunteers working at the warehouse in Weston-super-Mare.

During her visit, Princess Anne watched volunteers preparing shoeboxes ahead of a delivery to Belarus and spoke with Executive Director, Simon Barrington, about the work of Samaritan’s Purse.

The visit was in recognition of the voluntary efforts of the Nightingale family who, for the past three years, have generously donated units at both their home and office storage company to help make Operation Christmas Child a big hit in the local area.
