When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address: -

A Recovering Soldier, c/o Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Mindelsohn Way, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2WB. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful, special people, who have sacrificed so much would get.

What a wondereful idea. I have a friend who works in this hospital and some of the things he tells me about these great lads is amazing. Will do what you suggest dap3081.

rocking why not ask your pal for a list of first names so that cards could be personalised.

Rocking, Groucho nice idea but no soldier's names, all cards sent to these very special people will be displayed on mass on their ward.

Dear All



We are aware that there is a viral email circulating asking people to send Christmas cards to "A Recovering Soldier, c/o Queen Elizabeth Hospital".

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Whilst it is very kind of people to think of the soldiers at Christmas time, this is not something we have started and we would be grateful if people don't send cards and if they could repost this to their friends and families.



The resulting well intentioned mail will cause delays in our postal system, meaning important personal mail from loved ones and friends is often delayed.

r

If you would like to show your support for our wounded soldiers, you could buy some of our Christmas cards at the online shop - http://www.qehb.org/shop and the money will go to supporting the guys throughout the year.



If you want to buy a present, we are always very grateful for Amazon or iTunes vouchers but we would please ask people not to send parcels.

Vouchers can be sent to our offices at QEHB Charity, 5th Flo
