Support Our Soldiers Littlehampton sends hundreds of packages to our armed forces overseas every year, with 70 boxes posted abroad for Easter.Group leader Penny Keen shared a thank-you letter from the second troop of the A Squadron of the King’s Royal Hussars, based in Estonia, which said the hot chocolate and chocolate eggs ‘were snapped up within seconds’ and proved to be a big morale boost.

It said: “There’s a few lads in our troop from Littlehampton and they’re definitely enjoying the little taste of home during this busy deployment to the Baltic states.”

Penny said: “It gives us a really warm feeling that our efforts are making such a difference to their lives, if only for a short time, and making us more determined than ever to keep doing this work every month.”
