Parasol Charity

What's Parasol Charity?

Parasol Charity is a small organisation that provides aid and comfort to injured service personnel and their families.

Examples of how Parasol helps

  • Arrangements for clothing, toileterries and phone cards to be provided to every soldier upon admission to the hospital.
  • Arrangements for perishable items to be bought freshly for families visiting the injured soldiers and staying in nearby accommodation.
  • Arrangement of temporary loans to assist soldiers & their families.
  • Authorisation for a purchase of a specialised bed for a young soldier who was seriously injured and left with severe mobility problems. This was pledged even before any events took place. The amount was approximately £1000 so his suffering was minimised & he could enjoy some comforts with his young family.
