Welcome to
The Veterans Charity
Registered Charity No. 1123149
How we help
In 2020 alone, we delivered urgently-needed essential support to 839 cases despite facing a huge drop in vital income because of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Help us to continue delivering for those in dire hardship.
This very poignant short film tells the story of Dave, a former Army Commando, and the experiences he and his family had after he left the military having completed six and a half years service. We are extremely proud that Dave is now one of our amazing Volunteers. Sadly, his story is not unique and is something we encounter every day.

Operated by
Following the huge success and poignancy of our 'Poppies To Paddington' event last year, we expanded our unique act of remembrance to create Routes of Remembrance which covered the whole of the UK and beyond, enabling communities, Veterans, military units and many other organisations and groups to be a part of a very special tribute to our fallen.
Tributes completed poignant tours including England, Wales, Scotland and the Scottish Isles, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Jersey and even The Falklands; one wreath covered more than 3000kms travelling from Penzance to Aberdeen, Orkney, Shetland, Caithness, Wick, Inverness, Belfast, Isle of Man, Windsor and to several sites in London, finishing at HMS Belfast and the Tower of London.
On 11th November, hundreds of wreaths and tributes journeyed from locations all over the UK to key destinations in time for Remembrance Services to honour the fallen.
