A CUB group have decorated and filled eighteen shoe boxes that will be sent to children in impoverished areas.
2nd Rossendale Cub Scouts were visited by the International Aid Trust and saw the terrible conditions people as young as themselves in Africa and Eastern European countries were living in.
The following week the cubs packed 18 shoeboxes with donated toys, toiletries, sweets and clothing which will be sent to children around the world this Christmas.
The boxes were collected by Councillor Colin Crawforth, a trustee of International Aid Trust.
He said: “Thank you so much for your amazing effort in making 18 shoeboxes for people who are much poorer than we are.
“They will be eternally grateful even though they may never know who sent them the box. They will be so thankful to each of you for your kindness to them."
