https://giveustime.enthuse.com/donate A Message from Liam Fox:

During my time as Secretary of State for Defence I was extremely heartened to see how we improved the treatment of those who had been physically injured in combat. Medical improvements in prosthetics, better physiotherapy and improved social attitudes all contributed to a better chance of rehabilitation. In terms of psychological trauma, the invisible scars of war, we are making progress though perhaps at a slower rate. One of the areas where I think there remains room for improvement is the integration of service families into this equation. As a doctor working with the Armed Forces I learned the importance of seeing our personnel not as isolated individuals but as members of a wider family and community dynamic.

Wonderful video sent in from one of families who went to the beautiful location of Portballintrae! Talking about their break away they said “Everything was just perfect. We brought our bikes and enjoyed cycling to Dunluce castle and Magheraccross viewpoint every morning then returning to the cosy cottage to cool”.

Thank you to our amazing donor who made this break possible!

Huge Thank you to IDILIQ Hotels & Resorts for giving Lochlan and his family a once in a lifetime two-week trip away to Orlando!

During their break away they manage to fit in so much! They told us they went to Disney’s magic kingdom, the Universal parks, sea world, bush gardens, cocoa beach, Kennedy space centre, old town and so much more!

Reflecting on their time away they said, “From the moment the trip was arranged right through to coming home we didn’t stop smiling, everything was better than we could have imagined. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and we are so incredibly grateful to everyone who made it possible.”

Thank you so much to everyone who made this break possible!

A huge thank you to Kidlandlee Holiday Cottages who are celebrating 12 months of donating to us!

Over the past year, their incredible support has helped put smiles on the faces of so many military families. The feedback we’ve received has been absolutely fantastic, and we’re so grateful for the difference they’ve made.

A massive thank you to Louise, who has been absolutely brilliant in helping us book our families in and making sure they get to enjoy these wonderful experiences and of course Terri, without her we wouldn’t have these amazing donations!

Here’s to another year of spreading smiles!

Thank you, Kidlandlee! 🙌
