2007 Christmas Box
Forces Favourite and actress Jennifer Ellison became Santa's Helper for the day to join soldiers, sailors and airmen in
sending off the last of the 24,500 Christmas gift boxes destined for UK Armed Forces personnel on operational duties overseas this year.
The 2007 box contained a variety of gifts and seasonal items, and the box itself can be reused for storage. We sincerely hope that
they were both fun and useful, and served as a small token of everyone's appreciation for the job that these men and women are doing under
incredibly difficult circumstances.
Included in every 2007 box was a comments slip asking for feedback and suggestions. Every slip returned was entered in a draw for a chance to
win a variety of prizes, presented by the NAAFI, ranging from portable music and DVD players to a TomTom satellite navigation system. The draw
was made on January 24th by our patron the Duke of Westminster, and we shall be studying all of the slips to look for ways to improve the box for 2008.
The charity would like to give their heartfelt thanks to all of the
sponsors for
making this possible. We have begun to consider new ideas for 2008 and if you would like to help support "The Box" then
please contact us,
make a donation
or become a sponsor.
