Story
Style for Soldiers was set up and officially launched under the umbrella of the British Forces Foundation, in gratitude for the courage and sacrifice of our servicemen and women.
Jermyn Street shirt-maker Emma Willis visits Headley Court, the rehabilitation centre for the injured, to make them a complementary monogramed bespoke shirt in luxury cottons.
"We are also giving to those who use them - of whom there are many - a hand-carved ebony walking stick with a buffalo horn handle and silver band engraved with their regiment and initials," explained Emma.
"They are extremely appreciative, taking great trouble to choose their fabrics and style of shirt, and there is always excitement when we arrive with the finished shirts and sticks. We have received many moving letters and emails of thanks, when of course they are the ones to be thanked."
So far Style for Soldiers has funded the cost of the shirts and sticks, with generous donations from customers and friends. In order to continue to make as many shirts and sticks as possible we would be grateful for further donations. ALL proceeds go to making shirts and sticks, not towards any administration costs.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
