WITH thousands of British Servicemen and women on duty in the Balkans, and many more serving on peacekeeping or national tasks elsewhere in the world, the launch of a new charity to pay for their entertainment couldn't have come at a better time. The
British Forces Foundation aims to promote the efficiency of our Armed
Forces through charitable means by promoting the well-being and esprit
de corps of all service personnel. With ever-increasing commitments overseas our Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen can expect to spend even longer periods away from their homes and families - and thus maintaining their morale becomes all the more important. The
foundation, with a unique fusion of showbusiness, military and senior
diplomatic figures, will raise substantial funding to encourage top class
performers to go around the world entertaining our troops, as well as
supporting existing organisations involved in providing entertainment
and recreational facilities to the forces. The
British Forces Foundation enjoys my whole-hearted support and I am delighted
to be its Patron Patron HRH The Prince of Wales KG KT GCB
