Comfort Parcels for the Troops The fantastic members of the website "Support Our Soldiers" are constantly raising funds via donations to allow them to send comfort and morale boosting parcels to the troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and wounded soldiers at Selly Oak hospital, Birmingham.
All have donated to the "Freddie Fund" by way of purchasing yellow ribbon pin badges and Craig would like to contribute back from the fund by way of donation to allow the SOS team to continue to keep these very important parcels flowing. Having been on the receiving end of "comfort parcels" from home, Craig knows just how important it is for the guys and gals, either at war or in hospital, to get a morale boost from a box of goodies from back home. Unfortunately the "ridiculous" cost from the Royal Mail reduces the amount that is usually sent, but following extensive petitions by Craig's mum Debbie, and also the team at SOS who have lobbied continuously and met with ministers, the government have agreed to subsidise far more and the cost will be reduced. The MOD does not charge for the transport of the parcels but the Royal Mail charges for the delivery to the British Forces Post Office in Wiltshire. The Freddie Fund will be contributing towards the SOS comfort parcels project for the troops and injured, and is aiming to make a sizeable donation as the fund grows. Further information of the work of the "Support Our Soldiers" team can be found by clicking on their logo above. Visit their forum. It's a great place to chat and a top source of support.
