We exist to give a lifetime of support to the wider Army family, regardless of where or when a soldier served. We act swiftly and efficiently in providing support in the form of grants to those who find themselves in real need. We also provide grants to charities who support the wider Army family.

Story

6 relay teams of 6 swimmers, at least two of whom must be female, will be racing across the English Channel from Dover to France  - a race never attempted before.

The 22 mile swim is arduous, very cold and not without risk.  Team members will swim for an hour at a time, dodging tankers, seaweed and the odd jellyfish.

Last year we raised £16,000 - smashing our target by £6,000. 

This year we'd like to raise £9,000 - please help us top it.

Helping us by donating online is also a great opportunity for you to leave a message to help spur our swimmers on.  Your good wishes are very much appreciated.
