Those who have served our country deserve help when they face hardship. As the Army’s national charity, we are here to provide a lifetime of support to serving soldiers, veterans, and their immediate families.
Your support enables us to:
- be there for young serving families coping with sudden bereavement or traumatic loss.
- provide support to wounded, injured, and sick soldiers into old age.
- help with housing, education, and training for employment for veterans of all ages.
- provide for older former soldiers and their widows or widowers who may find themselves isolated and lonely.
Through grants to individuals in need, often made within 48 hours, and funding for around 86 specialist charities, we support approximately 75,000 members of the Army family each year. This includes essential funding to our long-term delivery partners including Combat Stress, Erskine and SSAFA.
Help us to make sure that support is available to the men and women who have put everything on the line to defend us, and our country.
