Christmas cards with seasonal greetings from children will be delivered to veterans this year thanks to a partnership between The Tank Museum and Help for Heroes.

Children visiting The Tank Museum’s ‘A Dorset Christmas’ event on the weekend of 16 -17 November were invited to write a letter to veterans in a specially designed tank-themed Christmas card. In total, three hundred cards were ‘posted’ at the Museum.

They will be given to veterans at a Help For Heroes coffee morning in December.

Events and Partnerships Manager at The Tank Museum, Tom Holmes said: “As the regimental museum of the Royal Tank Regiment and the corps museum of the Royal Armoured Corps, it is important to us to help support veterans by working closely with other charities like Help for Heroes.

“This season can be a difficult time for many, so we wanted to ask families enjoying our Christmas event to take time to write a special message for a veteran. We are delighted to have collected so many cards and look forward to delivering them in December.”
