BFBS has hosted a buffet lunch at its Buckinghamshire Headquarters to present the first cheques to the five Forces' charities chosen as beneficiaries of the BFBS Big Salute.

With over £75,000 raised in the first four months since the BFBS Big Salute was launched in May, cheques for £15,129.41 were handed over to BLESMA, Combat Stress, Headley Court, Veterans Aid and St Dunstan's.

The presentation was attended by representative's from each charity along with a number of high ranking military personnel.

Helen Williams, BFBS TV Controller said: "We are absolutely thrilled with the response within and outside of the forces community. People throughout the world have helped to make it a success by coming up with all sorts of imaginative ways of raising money for these very worthwhile causes".

Dr Hugh Milroy from Veterans Aid said: "From all the boys that we help, I want to say a huge thank you. It may seem insignificant putting a couple of quid into a box or something, but I can tell you that money has changed lives. It will change lives and it’ll keep changing lives. Thank you.".

Lt Col Jerome Church from BLESMA told us how the money they received would be spent "we’ll put it towards our rehabilitation, our activities for our younger amputees, the ones who are starting out on that lifelong road of actually being disabled and we will be there to help them."
