 PLEASE
HELP SUPPORT
the Coldstream Guards in Afghanistan:
...... and wear a Coldstream Guards Wristband
to show you care!
The Battalion will deploy to
Afghanistan on Operation Herrick 11 late September/early
October 09 until April 10
(dates t.b.c).
From
now until the Battalions safe return, the Welfare Office
are organising a wristband appeal which will hopefully
be as successful as the last appeal ran during the last
Herrick 7 Tour.
Note: This campaign is being
organised by the Welfare Office, 1st Battalion
Coldstream Guards. For help, queries or concerns you
should direct them to the Welfare Office (contact
details available below).

WHY, the campaign?
The wristband awareness campaign was created to generate
support for all Coldstream Guards soldiers (and attached
personnel) and their families. Much thought was placed
in the design of the wristband and as an English Regiment,
it was decided that the design of the wristband would be unique based on the
St Georges Cross (wristband image shown below).
PLEASE NOTE: we are not SELLING wristbands but
ask for a suggested
donation for each wristband taken,
see below.
WHAT, are the aims?
The wristband awareness campaign has been created with
the following aims:
a. Support to the families of those members of the Battalion who are
Killed In Action (e.g. support with funeral costs
beyond that provided at Public Expense).
b. Support to those injured on operations and their families
(e.g. support with costs incurred to make
alterations to houses if needed etc).
c. Support to families of those currently deployed
(e.g. provide activities for families, wives and
children to help them cope with separation).
d. Support to soldiers returning from operations to facilitate their
transition to normal life once more
(e.g. funding Adventurous Training, Sport, and Team
Building activities).
e. Support to soldiers and / or their families under extraordinary
personal strain for whom assistance by the Charity would
be immediate and meaningful.
WOULD, you like to
help?
Your help in this campaign could be anything from
promoting our campaign to as many people as possible,
using one of the
posters below or placing the images on a forum or
website. But, if you would like to help by
donating money for a wristband
you have two choices (shown below). Any help is
greatly appreciated and again, even if you can only help by
promoting the campaign - that will be enough (more
details here):
1 You can gain
individual wristbands (suggested
donation of £2 each) direct from the
Welfare Office (details below).
or
2 You can also
volunteer to promote the campaign with your own
wristbands , either in the Battalion or elsewhere, and raise as much cash as possible to
support our aim,
(this choice was used to great advantage by Branches during the
last Herrick Tour).

wristband:
To get hold of your own individual wristbands that you
can promote, you should send a
cheque (the donation that would be raised for each
wristband taken) to the address below, made payable to CENTRAL
BANK 1 COLDM GDS.
PLEASE NOTE: Wrist bands are available for a suggested
donation of £2 each
and you should write Wristband Appeal on the reverse
of the cheque (i.e 5 wristbands 'should' raise' a
suggested
donation of £10). There are also
two sizes of wristbands, small and large you should
state this in your order.
You should also ensure that you send us your Name,
Address and Postcode so we can dispatch your wristbands
to you ASAP.

APPEAL

Tel 01252 355517 (in case of queries or questions)
OPTION 2 to be sent wristbands
(large numbers/bulk)
to raise money for the aim:
This option was used to great effect by members of
our
Branches and other individuals that helped raise money
by promoting wristbands for
donations within your organisation.
·
To be the sent wristbands you must first decide how many
wristbands you wish to order.
·
You will then need to send a cheque to the Welfare
Office for that amount (£2 suggested
donation for each
wristband) where the cheque can
either be held as a deposit until you promote your
wristbands, or cashed to cover the suggested donations
for wristbands you have
been sent. You can also promote your wristband
campaign by printing off some free posters
available
here.
·
You must state in your order if you wish the cheque to
be cashed or held until funds are received. Cheques will
only be held for a maximum of 28 days, and failure to
state that the cheque must be held will result in it
being automatically cashed at the Central Bank.
·
If your cheque is to held by the Welfare Office, you then
have a maximum of 28 days to collect
donations
for your wristbands (a suggested
donation of £2 per wristband) and then to send on another
cheque which will be cashed by us (your old holding
cheque will then be destroyed).
To get hold of wristbands you should send your cheque to
the address below, made payable to CENTRAL BANK 1
COLDM GDS (make sure you state this is a holding
cheque).
PLEASE NOTE: Wrist bands are available for a suggested
donation of £2 each
and you should write Wristband Appeal on the reverse
of the cheque (i.e 5 wristbands 'should' raise' a
suggested
donation of £10). There are also
two sizes of wristbands, small and large you should
state this in your order.
You should also ensure that you send us your Name,
Address and Postcode so we can dispatch your wristbands
to you ASAP.
