We provide urgent support to Veterans who find themselves battling hardship and the distress it causes. Despite being a small charity, we operate nationally, delivering support across the entire UK. We are able to assist with essentials such as food, utilities, clothing and footwear, communications including smartphones and tablets, travel and fuel support, household basics and large single appliances.
The recipient of our support must be someone who has served within UK Armed Forces and can verify at least 6 months' service. Our support can also be extended to Service Personnel and Reservists too.
In addition to our rapid support programmes, we also operate socially inclusive events such as coffee mornings and breakfast clubs, The Black Dog Walking Club, Routes of Remembrance, Ribbon of Poppies and many engaging challenge events which bring people together in support of our Armed Forces Community.
We are very excited to launch our Be A Christmas Hero Appeal for 2026!
Help us to literally deliver Christmas to Veterans and their families who face hardship this year.
Sadly, we deal with many Veterans each year who have found themselves battling such dire hardship that Christmas might be beyond their means. The distress this situation causes can be incredibly difficult - you can help us to lift that distress and ensure this year ends and next year begins on a better note!
Donate or fundraise to support the provision of our Christmas Support Packages, each one comprising of a very comprehensive festive food shopping delivery which contains everything needed not only for Christmas Dinner but also enough to see them well into New Year.
The packages also include a fabulous Hamper which is personally packed by our team and is filled with treats, sweets, puzzles and games, decorations, cards, wrapping and even a Gift Card which enables Mum or Dad to choose gifts for the children or each other.
Each package costs £250 to have delivered direct to the recipient's door!
