The Not Forgotten Association is a charity that provides leisure & recreation for wounded, injured or sick service & ex-service men and women. Starting in 1921, the Palace has allowed the Not Forgotten Association to host a Christmas Party at the Palace. Originally the party was held at Royal Riding School in the Royal Mew at Buckingham Palace. But since 1997, the Party has been held at St. James' Palace each year. Around 300 people are invited each year.
