A dream came true for many children and one man in these past two weeks.
The Forces Children’s Trust was started 4 years ago to help educational, emotional and material needs of children who had lost a parent whilst serving in the Armed Forces. Its founder, Denny Wise, wanted to ensure that their needs were not overlooked both at the time of their loss and in subsequent years. The charity is now established and recognised for its work for the children and by other forces charities and organisations.
A further and complete surprise was arranged for the children just two weeks later, when they were taken from Manchester Airport and flown to visit Father Christmas in Lapland by the good offices of bmi, Esprit Holidays, Lapland Safaris, Manchester Airport Marriott Hotel, Sky TV, Twofour Broadcast Ltd., organised by the Forces Children’s Trust. The dream of children to see Father Christmas certainly came true and along with Mr. Noel Edmonds they all enjoyed the magical trip of a lifetime.
The dream of the Trust’s founder to help them more than fulfilled the trust’s defining slogan ‘To Help a Child is an Honour’. All the helpers from the Trust and the TV Production Unit alike acknowledged what an honour, indeed a privilege; it had been to make some of the dreams come true for children and founder alike.
Noel’s Christmas Presents can be viewed on Sky One on the following dates:
