As in recent years, all Service personnel on operations over Christmas (and those who are hospital in-patients) will receive a seasonal gift box from a MOD-endorsed charity (uk4u Thanks!).
The charity uses free space in the existing supply chain to deliver the boxes in time for Christmas to personnel all round the world, including those on ships and in submarines.
Instead of unsolicited mail not addressed to an individual, thoughtful members of the public wishing to support gifts to the troops can donate to the charity at the following link:
Other charities listed on the MoD website include
- Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) Forces Help
- Afghan Heroes
- Support our Soldiers
- Operation Shoebox
BAFF would be happy to add links to any other approved regimental or other schemes.
