Army Benevolent Fund

The Army Benevolent Fund’s purpose is enduring. We exist to provide a lifetime of support to serving soldiers, former soldiers, and their immediate families (including the bereaved) when they are in need. In the last financial year, kind people like you helped us support 75,000 members of the Army family across the UK and in 50 other countries around the world.
 
When members of our Army family fall into need, with your help, we are here to support them. Together, we are here for all soldiers, for life the necessary support so they can overcome difficulties and move forward with their lives.

From helping wounded soldiers to adapt to life after service, to assisting elderly veterans to keep their independence, we’re here for the Army family when they need us. We offer support in six key areas: independent living, elderly care, education and employability, mental fitness, families and housing.  

We award grants to individuals and families, and fund leading charities and organisations to ensure help is there when you need it. In the financial year 2023/2024, we funded 86 other charities and organisations that deliver frontline services.

Thank you. Your legacy will help us keep our promise – to ensure that soldiers, former soldiers, and their families can avoid hardship and life with independence and dignity.

Your family first, Army family second
 
Making a Will is one of the most important things you can do to ensure family and friends are looked after and provide you with invaluable peace of mind.

With no government funding, we rely on the gifts we receive from Wills to support more than a third of our work.

By considering leaving a gift to the Army Benevolent Fund, you are leaving a meaningful legacy to help those who have served their country but now find themselves in times of hardship or need.
