Army Benevolent Fund

The Army Benevolent Fund is the Army’s national charity, giving a lifetime of support to serving soldiers, former soldiers and their immediate families when they are in need.

It awards grants to individuals and families, and fund leading organisations that support soldiers, former soldiers, and their families.

From helping wounded soldiers to adapt to life after service, to assisting elderly veterans to keep their independence, it can offer support in six key areas: independent living, elderly care, education and employability, mental fitness, families and housing.

The Army Benevolent Fund can assist current and former soldiers with issues such as debt relief, mobility assistance, education and holiday schemes. It can also support military families who are bereaved or experiencing temporary financial difficulties.
