_{Since 1944, ABF The Soldiers' Charity (formerly the
Army Benevolent Fund) has provided support to soldiers, veterans and their
immediate families, for life.}

_{The Soldiers' Charity Ambassador Andy Reid MBE -
recently named in the Queen's Birthday Honours List - is our guest of honour
for our Armed Forces Day celebration.}

_{On Sunday, Bradford and Halifax do battle in what
promises to be mouthwatering action - with over 10 Army Units in attendance.}

The ABF give a lifetime of support to soldiers and

_{veterans from the British Army, and their immediate families, when they are in
need. They make grants to individuals through their Regiments and Corps and
support a wide range of specialist charities that sustain the British Army
‘family’, both at home and around the world.}

_{They take pride in being responsive, making a
difference at a critical point in people’s lives. We have been doing this since
1944, working with veterans of every conflict, and envisage continuing doing so
for the ‘long haul’ – supporting all future generations of our soldiers and
their dependents.}
