    Message of Support
This list is not definitive – it’s to give you an indication of suitable items. The
key is to things small and light as they are packed into shoeboxes which are
weight and size restricted.

Travel/individual sizes are ideal rather than family/bulk packs. Variety is important too – it’s much nicer to receive a box filled with lots of different items, rather than one full of say toiletry items. And please remember, these are morale boosting parcels – the lads and lassies are being well fed and watered!
Many thanks for showing your support to the British Troops!
