Support our Soldiers Charity

[agelesscraft]

I know nothing about this charity but thought it might be an ideal charity to send cards to. If you go to the site Supportoursoldiers.co.uk and click the menu on the right Appeals they are asking for Hand made cards A6 No Glitter to send out to the soldiers.

the address which is on the website is
Support our Soldiers
Unit 2155
Safe Store Self Storage
Middle engine Lane Retail Park
Wallsend
Tyne & Wear
NE28 PNT
Hope its of some use I have just sent a few Christmas Cards

Are these cards for the soldiers to send to their families?

[suban]

Possibly. Will certainly get some cards together. They're also requesting used postage stamps - pass the word on!

Thanks Suban missed the request for stamps but just had another look. The stamps are sent to another address.
It says on the website that the cards are placed in a communal area so that the troops can choose and send to relatives /home.

Thanks for that. On another forum I use to dip into a couple of years ago there was a lot of nastiness about sending cards for troops. I think it was a personal catfight between the posters not about the charity involved in that instance, but it put me off sending any at that time due to the sheer horrible comments.

This seems must saner so will sort some out. Thanks for the link.

I thought it was this charity. Last time I sent any was to someone who was passing them on but have lost contact. Well get some cards ready for this now.

This is just the sort of project to get my mojo back - Thankyou.

If it helps the troops - I'm in! Putting a plastic wallet in the kitchen for my stamps!

[eyeful]

I send my cards to a local "shoebox" co ordinater who forwards them onto serving troups , mainly in Afghan atm, I also pop in a few bits n bobs like toothpaste, playing cards , magazines , jelly sweets etc anything that will fit into a shoebox really.
