We're pleased to have full endorsement from the MOD for our campaign. This is their official announcement -
"The MOD welcomes SOS‘s work. The aspiration to provide support to the men and women on the front line is shared by many of the public. This charity has arranged with the British Forces Post Office to send high quality parcels to named Service personnel on operations in a way which causes the minimum of disruption to the operational postal service.”
And finally, we're delighted to announce that for every parcel sent this Christmas, 50p will be donated to BLESMA (the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association). So not only will you be raising the morale of our boys and girls serving overseas, you'll be helping on a more permanent basis too!
