Little Troopers Christmas Smiles: Christmas boxes for little troopers

 


Little Troopers Christmas Smiles: Christmas boxes for little troopers

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!
