Celebrities Join Forces To Support The Forces UK’s Biggest Ever Show of
Support For Troops
Paul Gascoigne, Simon Webbe and Angus Deayton are amongst a host of celebrities to support a
campaign to collect 1 million messages of support for the UK’s troops abroad. The messages,
which are recorded on video, will be hosted on a unique on-line “wall” where they can be viewed
by soliders anywhere in the world.
(PRWeb UK) November 23, 2009 -- The campaign “Faces to the Forces” is the brain child of video
communication experts Winkball.com and has the backing of the Royal British Legion. It’s the first time that
people in the UK have been given an opportunity to send video messages to troops abroad that are on active duty.
WinkBall’s team of fifty street reporters has already recorded thousands of messages from the public from towns
across the UK including Guildford, Aldershot, Cambridge and Colchester.
Winkball Co-Founder Dr. James Ohene-Djan commented: “We want to encourage as many people as possible to
get online, come to the site and record their goodwill messages to show our continued support and respect for the
important job our brave and selfless young men and women do, no matter how far away they are. WinkBall.com
is giving the UK a video voice which is changing the way we view news and share our opinions and feelings,” he
continued. “Our campaign to take a message to the forces ties in with our wider aim to expand the idea of Citizen
Video, so that everyone in the UK has the opportunity to express themselves and share their feelings online.”
