The Soldiers' Charity

I'm very proud to have worked with The Soldiers' Charity over the past few years, and enormously grateful to everyone who has supported my various fundraising efforts.  However, in the hope that a few people might have some spare pennies I'm running the London Marathon again this April: any financial support for the cause would make the training and the event significantly less painful...

he Soldiers’ Charity gives lifetime support to serving and retired soldiers and their families. They risk so much for us, but for them, it’s just doing their job. In return, the charity provides financial assistance when they are in real need.

There has been a 30% rise over the past two years in applications from soldiers who have taken part in previous and current conflicts and the charity currently raises £7 million a year to meet this need.

As a result of Current Operations it is anticipated that the requests for assistance will rise significantly in the coming yars. It is the aim of The Soldiers’ Charity to increase fundraising to £14 million a year by 2015 to be sure that we can help each and every soldier that needs our help.

They depend entirely on your donations and goodwill to do this.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
