Story
For many years, we have been delivering Christmas to Veterans and their families who face a Winter without it due to hardship.
This year, we have seen a huge 36% increase in demand for our support from Veterans who, often through no fault of their own, find themselves battling hardship which causes them to go without essentials such as food, heating and clothing. 2024 is our busiest year on record with two very busy months still to go...
Many of those we support each Autumn are struggling so much that they face the prospect of telling their children that their may not be a Christmas for the family this year. For some who have shared custody of their children, they are faced with making the awful decision not to have them over the Christmas period due to hardship!
This is where you can make a wonderful difference...
Our Be A Christmas Hero Appeal gives individuals, businesses, groups and families the opportunity to sponsor a fantastic Christmas Support Package which literally brings Christmas to a Veteran family in hardship!
Each package includes a huge food shopping delivery with everything needed for a bumper Christmas Day feast for the whole family as well as enough provisions to see them into New Year - we even make sure there is enough for them to host family and friends too!
Additionally, each package also includes a fantastic Gift Hamper which is packed full of sweets, treats, toys, decorations, games/puzzles, cards, tags and also an Amazon Gift Card which enables adults to choose something for the children too!
This support makes a huge difference to the recipients, not only ensuring that Christmas happens for the family but also ends a tough year on a better note and ensures that 2025 will start on a happier one too!
Each Gift Hamper is sent with a certificate letting the recipient know who has helped to make their Christmas a reality.
The cost of these amazing packages is £250 each. Fundraise or donate to Be A Christmas Hero!
