Where the money is going

The ABF (The Soldiers’ Charity) gives lifetime support to serving and retired soldiers and their families.   In Afghanistan our troops are putting their lives on the line to bring stability and peace to this beautiful yet troubled land. They risk so much for us, but for them, it’s ‘just doing their job’.    In turn the ABF is there for them and their families when they need a listening ear, commonsense advice and down-to-earth help with no hassle or bureaucracy.   Whether dealing with personal needs or offering guidance in dealing with a range of support services, they are there to help.   The current operational fund needs your support as never before.   Learn more about the ABF – The Soldiers’ Charity at www.soldierscharity.org
