The charity was founded in 2005, to provide Christmas gift boxes as 'a gift from the nation' to all those serving in the armed forces overseas or in hospital separated from their family and loved ones.I initially intended leaving this up for the Christmas period however, I feel the charity is a worthy cause and have therefore decided to leave the page I have attributed to the charity online and have only just added to its content.I hope you felt encouraged as I did, enough to consider contributing to the charity.
