About The Soldiers' Charity

We are The Soldiers’ Charity. We give lifetime support to serving and retired soldiers and their families. They risk so much for us, but for them, it’s just doing their job.

In return, we provide financial assistance when they are in real need. That’s what we’ve been here to offer for 66 years.

We have seen a 30% rise over the past two years in applications from soldiers who have taken part in previous and current conflicts and we currently raise £7 million a year to meet this need.

As a result of Current Operations it is anticipated that the requests for assistance will rise significantly in the coming years. It is the aim of The Soldiers’ Charity to increase fundraising to £14 million a year by 2015 to be sure that we can help each and every soldier that needs our help.
We depend entirely on your donations and goodwill to do this.

Please please help this worthwhile cause just like you did this year when i ran the marathon.
Thanyou so much in advance.

Well done Mate great cause, just tried to donate but the site wouldn't accept a Spanish Card so will get in touch with you directly before the event !!!

Good work and happy training !

Thanks boothy will be training in anger in a few weeks, cant at the moment due to a accident to my coolar bone but will be at it soon.

I have just been kindly given a place in the ABF The Soldiers Charity team to run the London Marathon 2012, and i am looking for your support.

This is a charity close to myself and my family as we have have between us in the last three generations of our family served 66 years in the British Army, which is a funny coincidence as it is also the length of time the charity has been up and running giving invaluable support.
