run by UK Turkeys entitled Turkeys for Troops that involved stores selling the large birds generating funds for the charity through their online shop.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, Worcestershire-based turkey provider Rob Caldecott decided to donate enough meat to feed everyone at the Royal Hospital Chelsea on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I'm really proud to be part of the Turkeys for Troops campaign and we're delighted to give the Chelsea Pensioners fresh British turkeys once again for their Christmas Day dinner,&quot; he told Meat Info.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to note that as well as raising money, turkey producers in the UK provided 1,200 dinners for sick, injured and wounded troops and veterans last year alone.<\/p>\n<p>A database of turkey producers who have signed up to the scheme is available and can be used by both consumers and businesses.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801678660-ADNFCR\"
