​The Phoenix Trust was one of the original charities mentioned in the Rage MC books. This was aimed at helping armed force members, serving and retired. Many of these return home and find they are unable to reintegrate with everyday living and a great many are homeless and don't realise that nobody cares about them. 

​

Each year we collect money to deliver Christmas parcels, to send to soldiers who receive no gifts, or necessities at this time of year. The UK PTP, (Phoenix Trust Project) works with an organisation that works with the MOD to send out Christmas boxes.  In the USA we buy items like hats and scarves, sleeping bags, blankets, and body wash sets. These are wrapped and delivered to a VA centre for the gifts to be distributed.

 

We also would like to donate an amount to a soup kitchen to supply a Christmas meal for a war veteran living on the streets, if possible. PTSD and injuries can irrevocably harm a person’s self-belief, esteem and change their perception of life. Many veterans are living on the streets because they can’t cope with everyday life as we see it. We could help a soup kitchen in the UK and USA feed veterans a Christmas dinner they might otherwise not get.

 

Should we exceed our target goals, any excess money will be donated to centres for prosthetic limbs for the brave wounded in the USA and UK.

 

So please, let those who put their life on the line for us know that they are not alone at Christmas and never will be. An everyday hero, as the TEPF calls them, has touched every one of us at one time or another. 

 

Even five bucks can make a difference.
