Packed With Smiles
Packed with Smiles provide families in need with otherwise costly, new school uniform parcels. Each parcel contains everything a child may need to fully participate in school, including PE kits, coats, shoes, water bottles and backpacks. Personalising parcels where possible, we also enclose a letter to each child and their grown up, to let them know that their parcel was truly packed with love.
