Troop Aid

About the charity

TROOP AID was founded in November 2006 by three ex servicemen as a result of a visit to Selly Oak Hospital’s Alexandra Wing in Birmingham.

When Troops return to the United Kingdom from war zones they arrive back without their personal effects or clothing.  The objective of Troop Aid is to supply the ‘basic essentials’ when service casualties return from serving their country overseas. 

Our Grab Bags are currently being sent out to the UK Military Hospitals in Afghanistan and Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham as well as other Ministry of Defence hospitals within the UK. In addition to this emergency pack we also supply on demand to the injured service personnel many other items of clothing and footwear. We deal directly with the Defence Medical Welfare Service and other military medical establishments in the UK where there is a need. We have sponsored two rooms at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham for the families of Armed Forces Personnel who are in intensive care.

Troop Aid understands that everyone who joins the Armed Forces may one day have to go to war and fight for their country.  We believe that when Troops return home they should be cared for. At Selly Oak Hospital injured servicemen and women receive the very best medical care.
