Dear Michael, we hope you are beginning to get into the Christmas spirit and enjoying the build up to the big day. Scroll down to hear a remarkable story of one of the veterans we have supported this year, get an update on our bigger-than-ever Christmas appeal and also how to take advantage of getting 10% off your very own Tommy.

Simon’s story

Simon served in the RAF Force Protection Force in Afghanistan, but it wasn’t until 12 years later that he realised he needed to put his own hand up for support. This year, Simon is taking part in Walking Home For Christmas for the fourth year running, but it will be his first year as a beneficiary of the charity.
