Support Our Soldiers care parcels

I hope this isn't considered spam or advertising:

Although it's too late for Christmas now why not consider sending a care parcel to a serving soldier in Afganistan or elsewhere?

Even really simple stuff like tea bags and HP sauce are really appreciated by them. Magazines, airfix kits, silly games etc. can make a huge difference to those serving in these tough environments and show them we all care about them.

Best of all, it's FREE for parcels under 2kg.

Take a look at the Support Our Soldiers site for how to go about it. You don't even have to know a serving soldier.

I sent my first parcel yesterday and my little boy put a card in - and some modelling baloons! Lol

Thanks for reading this

We sent out 3 parcels last month so they would get them in time for Christmas, I hope who ever gets ours enjoys them.

Two of our local pubs do this on a regular basis. Fantastic idea and cause

I used to love getting these care parcels. It made us feel appreciated and in a way, loved.

You would not believe the morale boost that such a simple and generous gesture produces.

I'm part of a club that does this for a member who is serving in Afghanistan now. He gets loads of boxes from us all and shares them out to his unit.

He was on R&R a few weeks ago and told us all just how much those boxes mean to him and his comrades

A plane ticket home would probably go down better. Let's hope the imminent announcement by the govt proposes just that.

A shoebox is perfect, but keep it all under 2kg. Look at the Support Our Soldiers website and they give you details of what to do, a guide on what to send and will send you parcel on if you don't have a named soldier.

At the moment the Mod are asking not to send them there are too many to deal with and there is a back log it's a great thing but try doing it in the new year. We only have a certain amount of planes so it causes a problem this time of year when we need supplies it means the gift boxes you send will probably stay in this country until the new year anyway. I ain't being the grinch send them by all means they are great but try sending in jan x
