Supported by The Veterans' Foundation

Some veterans find leaving the armed forces and returning to civilian life a huge struggle, sometimes resulting in homelessness, mental health issues, physical problems and family breakdown. The Veterans’ Foundation is a charity that was created to raise funds for military-related charities that do excellent and effective work to help these veterans, and it favours those smaller charities that tend to struggle to raise funds, particularly in the economic climate in the wake of Covid-19.

This award seeks to recognise an organisation that has given outstanding help to veterans in need, and shown innovation and entrepreneurial qualities in doing so.

CLOSING DATE: Friday 24th June 2022 at 5pm.
