About VC

The Veterans Charity focuses on providing direct support in the form of what we call 'modest provisions', anything from a wheelchair, mattress or bath-lift to everyday items like TVs, microwaves, clothing, food and even bicycles. 

We have helped many Veterans to get the things that we often take for granted but, when provided quickly, can make a real difference to how they live. For many former service personnel, it can be difficult to make ends meet and to cope with the pressures of life. The Veterans Charity has helped to make life better for those who have served our country and now need our help. We have also provided advice to Veterans who simply dont know which way to turn next and need some guidance.

We operate with a minimum of delay and focus on providing our support as quickly as possible to ensure that our Veterans are given what they need, when they need it. To us, many of the delays that Veterans experience when seeking help are avoidable and can often cause a great deal of anguish and suffering. In cases where we are unable to help directly, we will always try to signpost an individual to the best place to get the support they deserve. We are receiving more and more support requests every week and fulfilling the requests as quickly as possible is our focus. The ONLY restriction that we have is available funds. If you are planning an event or personal challenge please consider doing it on behalf of The Veterans Charity. Your donations really do make a huge difference to the lives of Veterans of all generations.

 Please note:

The Veterans Charity does not provide financial grants. We do provide equipment directly to individuals aand occassionally to facilities which provide support directly to Veterans. We cannot provide loans or grants as we do not have the resources to do so.

If you are in need of some advice on where to apply for financial assistance, please feel free to get in touch and we will do all we can to signpost you to the best place to find support. We accept support requests from any individual who has served for at least one day in any of Her Majesty's Armed Forces. This includes Territorial Army and Reserves.

The Veterans Charity proudly works with other military charities to ensure that those in need receive the support they deserve.

 NO POLITICS - NO RELIGION - JUST SUPPORT

 Due to the unique way we work, we have been able to provide vital and life-enhancing equipment in less than 24 hours!

We will always endeavour to provide support as quickly as we are able to but this can vary greatly depending on the individual circumstances.

We hate delays but sometimes they are unavoidable. We are a small charity run almost entirely by volunteers but every effort is made to provide the support as quickly as possible as we know how much difference it can make.
