Now that our Christmas Appeal is over, and as our parcels travel across the miles, we ask you now to join us, and light a Christmas Candle of Hope.
2008 has been another difficult year for the British Forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for their families and friends at home
At 2.00pm on Christmas Day we ask you to light a candle and to take just one minute to pause and think...
...of all our servicemen & women away from home, wherever in the world they may be and to hope for their speedy and safe return.
...of their families, apart at this special time, and to hope they find strength in knowing that they will soon be re-united.
... and to remember those who have lost loved ones and to hope they may find comfort
If news spreads far enough, and we hope it does, then candles will be lit across the world throughout the day and our lads and lassies will know how much they are cared about.
Please join with us and encourage the nations, at least for a moment, to unite in A Christmas Candle of Hope
Last Christmas there were candles lit worldwide - in Germany, Gibraltar, Madeira, USA, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Trinidad, Zambia, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Iraq and Afghanistan.
To add your name to the list and let us know where you will be lighting your candle, email:

Lets light up the world with hope this Christmas, and show them that we are thinking of them.
Thanks for reading. xx
