Troop Aid are a local based charity who provide ‘basic essentials’ to casualties of the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force injured serving their country, either whilst in training or on operations.
When our troops sustain serious injury, they are often transferred to hospital simply in the clothes they are in. Receiving a care package can make a real difference to their morale.
Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst MP said:
Firstly I wanted to thank Pam, Al, Kim, and the whole Troop Aid team for their unwavering commitment to helping our injured service men and women.
I have seen first-hand, as a Trauma Surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the incredible impact Troop Aid has. Troop Aid supply “Grab Bags”, costing £40.00 to prepare, which include clothing, underwear, toiletries, and a get-well card.
I am incredibly proud that Troop Aid’s HQ is based in Solihull West and Shirley. I can't thank Troop Aid enough for their dedication, love, and care for our Armed Forces. Helping injured troops to arrive at hospital with dignity and respect at a time of personal crisis makes a big difference.
On 8th and 9th February 2025 the Birmingham International Tattoo comes back to the Resorts World Arena at the NEC. I urge as many constituents as possible to attend this brilliant military spectacle, which serves as a major fundraiser for this vital charity.
