You could win a Princes Trust Australia Care Package!
Care packages hold a special place in the lives of deployed troops,
and for family members.
Historically, care packages were sent from family members to their
loved ones abroad, and contained anything from milk powder to
coffee, soap, medicine, and fabric. And, anecdotally, Anzac biscuits
handmade with love.
This year, Prince's Trust Australia have created care packages
featuring a wonderful selection of products by Australian veteran
and ADF partner businesses, all alumni of our business Enterprise
programme.
These care packages will be gifted and shared across Australia and
globally.
