Dear All
We are aware that there is a viral email circulating asking people to send Christmas cards to "A Recovering Soldier, c/o Queen Elizabeth Hospital".
Whilst it is very kind of people to think of the soldiers at Christmas time, this is not something we have started and we would be grateful if people don't send cards and if they could repost this to their friends and families.
The resulting well intentioned mail will cause delays in our postal system, meaning important personal mail from loved ones and friends is often delayed.
If you would like to show your support for our wounded soldiers, you could buy some of our Christmas cards at the online shop - https://www.qehb.org/shop and the money will go to supporting the guys throughout the year.
If you want to buy a present, we are always very grateful for Amazon or iTunes vouchers but we would please ask people not to send parcels. Vouchers can be sent to our offices at QEHB Charity, 5th Floor Nuffield House, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TH.
Thank you to everyone for all your kind thoughts and support.
