Mandela Day 2026 – 67 Minutes of Giving Back

On 18th July, the Harry Crossley Foundation team came together to honour Mandela Day with a spirit of giving back.

This year, we prepared 24 Santa Shoeboxes, each thoughtfully packed with essentials and small gifts to support and encourage the young people who receive them. A Santa Shoebox is a gift box filled with practical essentials and thoughtful treats, designed to bring comfort, support, and a sense of care to a child or young person.

Each shoebox included:

  • Toiletries
  • Stationery
  • A special gift, either a soccer ball or a pack of UNO cards

Mandela Day reminds us that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. By dedicating 67 minutes to giving back, we hope to honour Nelson Mandela’s legacy of compassion, service, and generosity.
