We care with courage to help veterans live life to the full.

Story

I have the honour of being Chief Executive of The Royal Star & Garter Homes. I am also a very ploddy weekend runner. This is the moment to put my money where my mouth is, and hope that my knees, ankles and hips hold up.


I will be running 2 half marathons that take in 5 of London's Royal Parks - Richmond Park in February and the Royal Parks in October. In between I will be having lots of physio to recover. 

Both are now complete!!

Any sponsorship would be gratefully received, and will go towards supporting the outstanding care that The Royal Star & Garter Homes provides to 200 veterans and their partners every year in our 3 Homes.

The Royal Star & Garter Homes provides award-winning care for veterans and their partners who live with disability or dementia, in state-of-the-art Homes. The Charity was founded in 1916 to care for the severely injured young men returning from the battlegrounds of the First World War. Today, we provide specialist nursing, dementia and therapeutic care, together with a varied and engaging programme of activities, which enable residents to remain independent and enjoy life.
