At Viking Arms, we’re passionate about giving back to the communities that matter most to us. Recently, we joined forces with Amey and e50K, a military spouse and veteran-led social enterprise, for another incredible ‘pack up’ day to assemble the much-needed Move You In Packs.
These packs are a lifeline for military families transitioning to new accommodation, providing them with essential items to help them settle into their new homes. Each pack is more than just a box of essentials—it’s a gesture of support and solidarity with the Armed Forces community.
What Happens on Pack-Up Day?
Our team, alongside other volunteers, came together to pack 2,500 boxes, each filled with eco-friendly, sustainable products sourced from small, veteran or Armed Forces Covenant-holding businesses. This effort not only provides crucial support for military families but also:
• Offers paid employment opportunities for spouses, families, and local community members.
• Encourages teamwork and connection among Defence professionals and military supporters.
• Directly impacts the lives of military families, ensuring they feel valued and supported during a significant life change.
It’s also a fantastic chance to meet like-minded individuals and contribute to a project that strengthens the Armed Forces community.
The Bigger Picture: Empowering Military Families
The Move You In Packs are funded by Amey through its collaboration with e50K. This initiative goes beyond simply providing essentials—it’s about uplifting military families in meaningful ways.
Every product in the pack is thoughtfully selected, including contributions from businesses like Willsow, creators of the world’s first plantable children’s book. The profits generated are reinvested into e50K to support community-driven schemes that improve the physical and social environments for military families.
Here’s what this project has achieved so far:
• 188 spouses employed
• 2,613 paid hours provided to Armed Forces community members
• 4,657 volunteer hours contributed by local and national partners
• 82 partnerships formed to support the initiative
• 4 new Armed Forces Covenant signatories
A Shared Mission
Our Armed Forces families sacrifice so much for us—it’s a privilege to give something back. Through projects like this, we can help military families feel supported, empowered, and valued.
By participating in the Move You In initiative, we’re proud to support a mission that connects people, enhances communities, and uplifts the Armed Forces community.
