Holidays for heroes

Published 6 Jul 2010 09:30

THE Armed Forces Veterans Association (AVFA) help young servicemen that have been wounded in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

We help young men that have been wounded in action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We send them on holiday to Spain for 14 days at a time along with their wives and kids.

This takes a lot of funding, but the respite break it gives these young men is really fantastic.

As a young organisation, which has only been operating between June 2009 and June 2010, we have sent 17 wounded veterans and their families, totalling 60 people, on holiday to Murcia in Spain.

A donation from you or your friends would be very helpful - no matter how large or small the donation is, every bit helps.

Please visit the website below to make a donation to the AFVA to help us with the great work we carry out on behalf of all the wounded from these wars www.justgiving.com/armedforcesveterans

Your donation is very welcome

Jim Hume, national chairman, AFVA
