to the Soldiers' Charity
For 65 years the Army Benevolent Fund
(ABF) has worked tirelessly to provide support to serving soldiers, former
soldiers and their families in times of need.
The people we support
include those with disabilities or mental illness, people experiencing
homelessness or unemployment, and older people."
The ABF supports serving soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need.
Support is given in two ways:
Grants to individuals
Grants to charities
Individual need can range from an electric wheelchair or a stair lift for an injured former soldier to care home fees for a Second World War veteran or a much needed holiday for a war widow and her young children.
Dependent on voluntary donations, the ABF must currently raise around £5.5 million each year to continue its vital work.
