A military charity that supports the relatives of servicemen and women is to receive the proceeds of a fundraising event.<\/p>\n
Money raised at the Farnborough International Airshow will go to the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) Forces Help campaign, Get Hampshire reports.<\/p>\n
The organisation offers help and support to soldiers and their loved ones and its corporate and events manager Karen Woodgate said she believes this spectacle will prove a success.<\/p>\n
She noted: "We are convinced that Farnborough International Airshow, with its strong defence and Ministry of Defence connections, will provide the perfect venue to reach a receptive audience and raise valuable funds."<\/p>\n
The group has been in operation in the UK for the last 115 years, the source added.<\/p>\n
It was recently reported Sir David Richards will replace Sir Jock Stirrup as the Chief of the Defence Staff in October this year after the experienced soldier was hand-picked for the role by prime minister David Cameron.<\/p>\n
