Celebrate whilst supporting our veterans with donations to Care after Combat

Turn your special occasions into opportunities for giving. Ask your friends and family to donate to Care after Combat instead of giving birthday or wedding gifts.

What occasions can I choose to receive donations instead of gifts?

Choosing to receive donations instead of gifts for occasions is an effective way to support Care after Combat due to the raised awareness of the cause. It also gives yourself and others a feeling of pride as you have collectively contributed to the donations and support of a charity.

Occasions to choose to receive donations:

  • At your Wedding – Nominate Care after Combat so guests have the option to donate to the cause.
  • For your Birthday – Give friends and family the option to give donations instead of gifts. They could give it to you to donate or directly donate to Care after Combat.
  • Christmas – During the season of giving, support and give back to our veterans by asking for donations instead of gifts.
  • On your anniversary – Celebrate anniversaries whilst donating to a good cause.
