Our Patron, the Duke of Westminster, KG CB, OBE, TD, DL
“At a time when our Armed Forces are at their busiest for many years, I am delighted to be the Patron of uk4u Thanks! Their aim, 'to deliver festive cheer' to all those deployed on operations at Christmas from all three Services, including regulars and reservists, draws on the best traditions of our country in supporting Servicemen and women away from home at such a special time of year."
"This scheme, resurrected in 2004 on the ninetieth anniversary of Princess Mary's original Christmas Gift Fund of 1914, has proved to be a great success. The charity encourages industry and individuals to sponsor the Christmas box, or 'square stocking' as it has become known. Whilst the Ministry of Defence assists with expert advice facilitates delivery, the box is a gift from you, the grateful nation, to say thank you for a job well done under trying and often dangerous circumstances".
The Duke of Westminster
