Please consider sponsoring me by donating to this extremely worthy cause.

There is always somebody seeking donations to raise money and it is impossible to support all of the worthy causes. However, the current level of conflict means that there are today very many serving and former soldiers who rely on the help of the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF). 

The ABF is the Army's national charity. They provide financial and practical support to soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need. They identify and investigate eligible cases in real need, and provide them with financial support.

Individual need can range from an electric wheelchair for a soldier's disabled son or a stair lift for an injured former soldier to care home fees for a Second World War veteran or a much needed holiday for a war widow and her young children.

Dependent on voluntary donations, the ABF must currently raise around £5.5 million each year to continue its vital work.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Army Benevolent Fund will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
