One of our stormtroopers of the First Order, TK-4365 has put down his F-11D to serve at the frontlines of the NHS.

The risk of Covid-19 infection for healthcare workers remains high, but he keeps putting his Imperial training to good use, blasting tumours with protons and X-rays, or stabbing them with isotope beads with pinpoint accuracy, in his endless fight to save lives.

This is a hard time on the medical frontlines, and we are proud of your dedication! Fire away whenever you are ready, trooper!

By now, there are many who need help recovering whilst the pandemic rages on.

TK-23087 of the UK Garrison is a #CovidWarrior in the middle of this struggle to heal the community.

A healthcare instructor and assistant, he helps the elderly as well as vulnerable dischargees who must care for themselves outside of hospitals.

We are so proud of our troopers who are caring for patients' lives despite the added risks.

Thank you for fighting for us, trooper!

Stay safe!

The UK Garrison was thanked for our Charity Donation to Autism Support Crawley - https://www.facebook.com/AutismSupportCrawleyInfo/posts/1416232288581879

Each year the UK Garrison donates a sum of money from the Member Charity Fund to Charities that have been nominated by members.

This has proved a very popular giving campaign.

Each year members nominate charities that mean something to themselves, personally.

This year Charities from Childrens Hospices through to ex-service dogs have benfitted from #BadGuysDoingGood

This week 501st UK Garrison brothers and sisters, stepped up to do what was asked of them in these sad and rather unforgiving times.

"On Wednesday, it was our sad duty to provide the escort to a fallen paramedic and lifelong Star Wars fan. It was an honour to perform this small act of acknowledgement for your sacrifice. Rest in peace, Sir."

September 5th is the International Day of Charity.

The date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the passing away of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 "for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress".

The UK Garrison and 501st Legion invites you to celebrate the day by making a donation to support an important charity: UNICEF.

UNICEF works hard to save and protect the world's most vulnerable children.

Sad day made a little better.

Providing an Imperial escort and guard of honour this morning for a lifelong and dedicated Star Wars fan who sadly lost his life recently at just 55.

It was the brothers hope that the 501st UK Garrison might be able to help make today something more that just a day of sadness for the family and friends, and give his brother the kind of send off he'd be delighted with.

It was our honour and privilege to be able to do this for him and his family.

This is what we do.

We have learned of the sad passing of David Prowse, the man behind Darth Vader's mask.

Prowse passed away after a short illness on Saturday 28-Nov-2020 at the age of 85.
David embodied cinema's greatest villain. It is with great sadness the UK Garrison and the 501st Legion hears he has become one with the Force.

Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this sad time.

The UK Garrison have been mentioned on the Gaming Bible for our Clone of Honour for a young Clonewars fan.
