The Veterans’ Foundation is one of the country’s fastest-growing military charities and we are proud to work with hundreds of smaller charities and charitable organisations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that share our passion: to provide a better life for our armed forces family who are in need (our beneficiaries).
We help our partner organisations by supporting them to deliver life-changing projects through our grant award scheme.
Many amazing charities have significant financial constraints and the Veterans’ Foundation exists to champion their causes and to help them effect their objectives.
We do this by funding projects and we also work with our partners to broadcast their initiatives so we can raise awareness of the challenges facing our armed forces community. We know those challenges can often impact on family members and our pledge is to also offer support for the dependants of those who have served their country.
The Veterans’ Foundation has a unique story. We were formed in 2016 and we have grown quickly since then.
Our journey began by sharing the stories of our armed forces family on social media and this quickly escalated into a large, trusted community of friends and supporters. In just a few years we’ve engaged and interacted with millions of you, celebrating our armed forces and bringing hope of a better life to those in need of care and assistance.
The Veterans' Foundation Hub exists to connect those that provide frontline charitable support with individuals and businesses willing, and able, to help fund this life-changing work. The VF is positioned at the centre of this Hub and assists both charities and donors all over the UK.
We are well-placed to provide this central role by using the expertise that we have built up through service in the military, in some cases, as well as considerable engagement with charities and charitable organisations. Since the Foundation's inception in 2016, we have provided millions of pounds in vital grants to hundreds of such organisations.
The Veterans' Foundation Hub is focussed on engaging the military community and distributing funding to where it is most needed, to projects that have the biggest impact on lives in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Since the Veterans’ Foundation began in 2016, we have given millions of pounds in grants to hundreds of unique UK-based military charitable organisations. Those who have received grants from the Veterans’ Foundation are based in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and offer varied approaches to the problems faced by people who are, or were, in the armed forces.
As examples, we support projects that:
- Reduce homelessness
- Increase employment
- Provide welfare and medical support
- Increase confidence and social integration
- Reduce dependence on drugs and alcohol
- Support other charitable activities that may be needed
