The Forces Children's Trust was founded in
2004 by Mr. Denny Wise, following the many heart-breaking
stories that have emerged from the losses in Afghanistan and
Iraq - in particular the number of children
who were left without a parent - and decided that a charity solely
dedicated to helping the individual needs and problems of the
children would help fill a niche in the charitable field of
family care. |
In our constant pursuit of the newest and best discoveries on
the internet to help support Armed Forces families, the Yellow
Ribbon Foundation is delighted to introduce
www.FiveDads.com, a
novel way to record audio bedtimes stories set to exciting sound
effects and music via a unique digital audio interface. Click for more details .... |
"Beer For The Boys" is the brainchild of Wing Commander Steve
Chadwick, Officer Commanding 216 Squadron based at RAF Brize
Norton in Oxfordshire. He started the campaign in 2007
with the aim of providing a can of beer to servicemen and women
flying home from Afghanistan on RAF TriStar aircraft, which are
operated by 216 Squadron. |

How many times have we looked at the news on television, and
thought to ourselves, “I wish I could do something!” When Mike Payne, illustrator, writer and creator of the iconic Tatty Teddy and the Charlie’s Ark range of audio books, saw a news item on Sky News about another soldier being killed in Helmand Province, he did just that. He is hoping his monologue recording of "Goodnight Dad" will generate much-needed funds for the Yellow Ribbon Foundation, and encourage awareness of and support for the British Armed Forces and their families and loved ones back home.

Yellow Ribbon for the Forces
Week - 24 to 31 March - is aimed at encouraging public support and
recognition of the British Armed Forces, as well as raising
awareness of our organisation and it’s work. The town of Carterton, Oxfordshire - home of RAF Brize Norton and central transportation point for many thousands of troops and families every year - has shown their unequivocal support for our Armed Forces every year by going yellow, and we hope other towns around the UK will follow suit.
