Paul Ponsonby Ltd continues to support Troop Aid!

TROOP AID was founded in November 2006 by three ex servicemen as a result of a visit to Selly Oak Hospital’s Alexandra Wing in Birmingham. When Troops return to the United Kingdom from the war zones they arrive back without their personal effects or clothing. The objective of TROOP AID is to supply the ‘basic essentials’ when service casualties return from serving their country overseas.

For the second consecutive year Paul Ponsonby Ltd supported Troop Aid by attending their annual ball as well as making a donation on the night. Having booked two tables they were able to invite many customers and suppliers, all of whom thought it to be an extremely worthwhile cause and a very enjoyable evening:

‘Just to say we had a great night thanks to all! Let me know if you find out how much was
raised altogether it would be nice to know.’

Paul Ponsonby and Linda Wildman received a beautiful etter of thanks from Linda Stokes, Troop Aid Trustee:

‘On behalf of Troop Aid, I would like to thank you for your latest donation. This will be used to provide injured soilders with grab bags, mobile phones and items of clothing. It was very generous of you both and totally unexpected as you had already helped us so much this year with your donation of get well cards. I regularly see these cards by the beds at the hospital and they are also sent out on a weekly basis to Afghanistan. Here, at Troop Aid we will continue to provide our Injured Troops with the basic essentials for as long as we are needed both at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham and the Field Hospital in Afghanistan and it is only with donations such as yours that we can continue to do this.’
