Minor Website Upgrade

thumb_lions2Hi, folks.  I'm sorry we've been a bit quiet over the last couple of months ... usual stuff, like waiting for Bearers to submit their trip reports and photos.

Oh, and of course the Christmas and New Year holidays.

 

Annual Report 2009

UK Postal Strikes

newspaper-iconThe current series of Postal Strikes in the UK have not (yet) had any direct impact on the work of Slingsby's Team on behalf of holidays4heroes. All the Bears are "present and accounted for".

The Trafalgar Square Plinth

Oneandtheother

We are lucky enough to have had a representative taking part in the living art project in Trafalgar Square. Every hour, 24 hours a day for 100 days a different person will step up to the first plinth and help make a living portrait.

Claire, our volunteer, as well as show casing artwork from her daughter's school, raised money for our cause by auctioning off 25 one minute time slots to the highest bidders.

Our Status

Sgt Slingsby, Holidays 4 Heroes and Help Them Out are not registered charities but non profit making community organisations. This approach allows us to  both reduce governance costs and provide a response time to urgent cases that befits our stated objectives of having the shortest possible 'flash to bang' time. If you have any concerns about this please do not hesitate to contact us.

Holidays 4 Heroes

Holidays 4 Heroes LogoHolidays 4 Heroes is an informal group of people that assists wounded service personnel and their families get a precious break from the routine of rehab, hospital appointments and visits to welfare offices by facilitating holidays away from it all in accommodation donated by our sponsors in the UK and abroad.

Help Them Out

Help Them Out logoDeals with the cases that either lie outside the normal remit of the main Service Charities, or require a faster response than they can usually provide.  Sometimes the cases require financial assistance, a little bit of nudging in the right direction for long-term help, or the application of a bit of expertise.
