The special boxes bringing Christmas cheer to military children

We probably don't need to tell you this, but Christmas is just around the corner!

It can be a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends, but it can also be quite a tough time for some children who have a parent serving overseas in the military.

Last year around 7,000 people who are in the British Armed Forces were overseas at Christmas, according to the Ministry of Defence.

To help bring some Christmas cheer to those whose parents won't be home in time for the big day, the Little Troopers charity is sending out some special boxes.

De-Graft has been to speak to some of the volunteers helping to prepare this year's boxes.
