CHAIR OF WARRANTS COMMITTEE JOHN LIVINGSTON LAUNCHES OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
10 NOVEMBER 2025
Last week Freeman John Livingston took a break from his work chairing the Stationers Warrants Panel to launch the Operation Christmas Child appeal at his church. John is a lay preacher at Datchet Baptist Church who have been supporting the “Shoebox” appeal which sends boxes packed with gifts to kids in less developed countries who would not get a present at Christmas.
First to donate a filled box was local MP Jack Rankin who said:
“I am pleased to be taking part in Operation Christmas Child again. Last year my shoebox went to a child in Central Asia. This year I have packed a shoebox for a girl aged 5-9 years. In many societies young girls are the most disadvantaged so I hope my shoebox will bring joy to one of them. Thanks to Datchet Baptist Church for organising the appeal”.
Not everybody can organise a shoebox but you can build one on line: operation-christmas-child/create-a-box
