Booking a holiday? help our wounded soldiers and their families

If you are thinking of booking your summer holiday soon, then please read this and consider booking through First Choice holidays. Regardless of whether anyone agrees with the cause into which our service personnel are sent, they deserve our support.

The people of Coventry have never failed to support our armed services and have a proud history dating back to the turn of the 20th century, through the Great War and continuing into the Second World War in which the City of Coventry found itself in the front line.

The details are shown below, but very simply for every twenty holidays booked through First Choice quoting reference 'heroes', a holiday, including flights, accommodation and transfers will be donated to a bereaved family or to a family of an injured serviceman or woman. Please note that this is a First Choice initiative supported by The Sun

 
This is a genuine offer, brought to our attention by the First Choice press office.  At this time of year thousands of holidays are being booked, if people know that by simply quoting the reference 'heroes' they can make a big difference to a service family, at no cost whatsoever to themselves, then surely they'll be pleased to do this.  So please do spread the word.... 
 
'Holidays For Heroes
 
To recognise the heroic effort and sacrifice of our nation's Armed Forces, First Choice is launching a campaign to donate £150,000 worth of free holidays.
 
First Choice will cover the cost of all airfares, accommodation and international transfers for bereaved families and the families of injured servicemen and women.
 
To get involved holidaymakers need to log on to www.firstchoice.co.uk/heroes call 0800 916 5164 or buy a copy of The Sun and take it in to a First Choice shop when booking their holiday between now and the 20th February*.  One holiday for every 20 bookings will be provided to families of service personnel.
 
Customers booking through the campaign will be entered into a prize draw and will have the chance to win a summer holiday in 2011 for two adults and two children, staying all-inclusive at the 4 Sun Holiday Village Aliathon**
 
Terms and conditions:
1. Holidays for Heroes is a First Choice initiative supported by The Sun
2. The initiative runs from 23rd January until Saturday 20th February or until holidays to the value of £150,000 have been donated, whichever is sooner
