Coldstream Guards Association has thrown its weight behind The Coldstream Kids
Charity, and said: | | | The
newly formed charity of 'Coldstream Kids' is a very welcome addition to our service
charities. Formed by dedicated Coldstreamers in response to Regimental fatalities
in recent conflicts, it is aimed specifically at children in need, of all Coldstreamers.
We are a family and as with all families our responsibility is to all our children,
the next generation who will carry forward our heritage and traditions. | | | | Association
