Story

Since Britain's Declaration of War in 1914, for over 100 years Britain has been engaged in one armed conflict or another, generating veterans day in and day out.

From the Great War 14-18, Second World War, Suez, Falklands, Bosnia, Kosovo, Oman, Libya, The Irish Troubles, Korea, Gulf War 1 & 2, Afghanistan there's not a year the Military hasn't seen action. Britain has the unenviable title of being the only fighting force in the World to have been on constant deployment in the last 100 years.

No Government will brag about that!

When these guys and gals are disbanded at the end of their service, it’s shocking to realise that some end up in the streets. Due to PTSD, lack of transferable skills and other issues, some just can’t make the transition from service life to civvy street.

I am raising funds to help those that have fallen through the net and are on the street. Funding helps provide food, sleeping bags, accommodation, health care and employment to get these guys who have given their all, often making personal sacrifices so the average joe back home can sleep peacefully at home in their bed
