Little Troopers has worked tirelessly to secure funding and create 2,500 Christmas Smiles boxes for military children experiencing deployment over Christmas 2024.
Boxes include various Little Troopers resources for you to utilise during deployment, as well as lots of lovely festive treats to bring Christmas Smiles.
On 20th November we held a packing day and many units from the British Army and RAF came to collect boxes for their families, so lots of you will receive a box from your welfare or community teams in the next couple of weeks. The Royal Navy were unable to support the distribution of the boxes this year due to staffing shortages but we know lots of Naval families are going through deployment and we want to make sure our Christmas Smiles boxes make it to you!
We have 600 boxes left that we will post out to individual families before Christmas. Families from all three services (Navy, Army and RAF) can apply, as long as your little trooper has a serving parent deployed this Christmas. However, Royal Navy families will be prioritised to ensure they receive some of our boxes.
Please note that we can only allocate one box per family (not per child) and we can only post to addresses in the UK.
Please fill out all the questions below before 5pm on 6th December. Please scroll down to complete all the questions and click 'submit'. We will only accept one entry per person / family.

If you don't receive a box this year, please know that our small charity has lots of other Christmas Smiles initiatives that we hope will support your little troopers through deployment. Visit our website for details www.littletroopers.net.
