Operation Christmas Box is a registered charity which provides Christmas Boxes full of presents (affectionately known as the 'Square Stocking') as a gift from the nation to all those serving in the UK Armed Forces on tours of duty overseas away from their families and loved ones on Christmas Day.

Thanks entirely to generous donations from members of the public and our sponsors, Operation Christmas Box will be sending around 9,000 Christmas gift boxes to UK Armed Forces personnel on duty overseas.

You can help ensure this charity continues to bring festive cheer to unaccompanied Service personnel overseas away from their families and loved ones at Christmas by making a donation at the page provided.

Operation Christmas Box sends gift filled shoeboxes to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, disease, famine, human trafficking and other injustices across Eastern Europe, Africa and Central Asia.
