Honour a Hero weekend!

On the weekend of the 28th, 29th, and 30th of June, 2024, The Elizabeth’s Trusts are concentrating on a fundraiser solely aimed at raising funds for Phoenix Trust. For this weekend, we are asking you to donate £17.00 or $21.00 towards providing a Christmas parcel for a member of the armed forces or a retired Vet. Our mission is to raise money to send out parcels at Christmas when many feel isolated, alone, depressed and suicidal.

£17.00 will buy a Christmas box from Operation Christmas Box in the UK, which will be sent to a member of the armed forces currently serving. Christmas 2023, we raised money for 64 boxes to be delivered.

$21.00 will buy blankets, scarves and hats, travel mugs, and many other items for serving members of the armed forces and for veterans who may be homeless or struggling. This will be sent via VA Centres. We donated 130 presents last year to Steubenville, Ohio VA centre.

These men and women fight for our right to live freely and defend our countries. Many of our armed forces personnel don’t receive parcels from home in the UK and USA. By giving £17.00 or $21.00, we can help these brave souls understand they are not alone and are thought of and cared about. Getting a parcel when you expect nothing is a huge joy and comfort, and if we can help save one life, it is worth it. Can you show a hero that someone out there cares about and is thinking of them?

Please donate today at our GoFundMe. The link is https://www.gofundme.com/f/elizabeths-phoenix-trust. Help show someone they are not alone and that we are with them.
