Donate to the uk4u Thanks! Christmas Box Scheme
uk4u Thanks! is a registered charity which provides Christmas boxes full of presents (affectionately known as the ‘square stocking’) as a gift from the nation to all those serving overseas away from their families on Christmas Day. They ensure that all Servicemen and women who are serving away at Christmas receive a box, whether they are in the Army, Royal Navy or the Royal Air Force, and wherever they are in the world. Feedback from troops who have received the box since the charity began in 2004 has been extremely positive, and they are a significant boost to morale at what can be a lonely time.
The charity does not receive any public funds, but the Ministry of Defence (MOD) supports the charity with advice and guidance. They also help by sending the parcels for troops in any transport going to operational theatres which has spare capacity. The boxes are not sent through the British Forces Post Office system, so there is no chance that they will ‘clog up’ the supply chain and delay personal mail and parcels from families and friends getting to their loved ones.
The charity’s aim is to send as many parcels as possible to personnel deployed on operations in Afghanistan, and to locations such as the Falkland Islands, Ascension Island and Diego Garcia, plus those in ships and submarines across the world.
To donate or find out how you can sponsor a box, please visit the uk4u website.
