Justin Packshaw's and The Iceland Antarctic Expedition's dedicated fundraising page for Walking With The Wounded

 

All money donated on this page will go through the Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation specifically to support Walking with the Wounded.

The Iceland Antarctic Expedition aims to follow in the legendary footsteps of Robert Falcon Scott and Lawrence Oates, a century on from the their trek to the South Pole. The team will walk the last two degrees, or 140 miles, to the Geographic South Pole, dragging all their equipment on sleds, as Scott and Oates did. Central to the Expedition is the participation of three soldiers from Captain Oates' old regiment, the Royal Dragoon Guards, all of whom have sustained wounds while on active service in Afghanistan.

The Expedition is raising funds for two great causes: Alzheimer’s Research UK and Walking With The Wounded.

This page is specifically raising funds for Walking With The Wounded, which creates inspirational expeditions like this and raises funds for the re-training and re-education of wounded servicemen and women to help them find long term employment after they have left the armed forces.

It is for all those who want to give something back to those brave young servicemen and women who have put their lives on the line for our country.

To simplify administration, all funds raised by the Expedition are being collected through Iceland’s very own charity, The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation. Iceland has given more than £9 million to charity overthe last 25 years, and the Foundation is designed to channel this giving in the most effective way in future. All money raised through this page will be donated by the Foundation to Walking With The Wounded.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

However, if you prefer, we would be equally delighted to receive your cheque made payable to The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation at The Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation, Second Avenue, Deeside Industrial Park, Deeside, Flintshire CH5 2NW. Please make clear that you want this money to be donated to Walking With The Wounded.

Thank you
