To all members of the BAFC
Hi guys
As was agreed by members that attended Fandance this year, we have sent £1000 to the annual hamper appeal for Support our Paras. I received the following message of thanks today from Natalie who works for Support our Paras at RHQ in Colchester.
We will discuss this donation at the AGM in Brecon next May and seek approval to make a similar donation next December 2024.
All the best
Nick – Chairman
“ Hi Nick
Lovely to speak to you just now. As I mentioned on the phone, I just wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to all the members of the British Airborne Forces Club for the generous £1,000 donation you’ve made towards our Hamper Appeal this year.
As staunch supporters of this appeal in the past, you will be keenly aware how meaningful your donation is towards this bigger cause. In 2022, the charity sent out 402 hampers spending a total of £34,000, so the Club’s generosity will again purchase the best part of 12 hampers for Airborne veterans this year.
I’d be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to all members who supported this donation; it truly means a lot when our veterans support each other in this way. We are increasingly seeing generous support from the wider Airborne family here at SUPPORT OUR PARAS, and, since half of our staff have our own links to the Reg, is something that we are extremely proud to be a small part of.
Many thanks indeed for the support, and safe landings this festive season.
Best wishes
Natalie
Support our Paras”
