WELCOME TO ADOPT A BRITISH SQUADDIE

Hello and welcome to Adopt A British Squaddie. Set up in June 2010 by the founder - Mark Stephens the group has gone on to support over 4,300 troops and 13,000+ parcels and letters to help boost morale and give a small taste of home.

Unlike a number of other groups Adopt A British Squaddie allows members of the public to get involved with actively supporting individual members of our Armed Services while they are out on Operational Deployment in Afghanistan and other conflict zones.

If you are a UK based resident and want to support UK troops then why not sign up to ' Adopt A Squaddie'? Once registered you will be allocated a service personnel, ‘adoptee’ who you support while they are on tour. This is achieved by sending welfare or comfort parcels with things to remind them of home and to make life a little easier in the hostile and difficult circumstances they are in. You can also send letters (or blueys) and emails (e-blueys) once you have sent your first parcel to keep in touch if you both decide

If you are a member of the UK Armed Forces you can sign up to be ‘adopted’ We are registered as a delivery partner with the MOD. You can register at any time during your tour to be supported by us (please note that from Op Herrick 16 this will be on an individual basis. We are no longer able to accept registrations as a group from military personnel.

‘Adopting a member of our services is open to individuals and groups and once inside you will find everything you need to know about the group, its founders and what you can do to help.

Thank you for visiting and for supporting our armed forces.
