A huge thank you, once again, to the Veterans’ Foundation for another extremely generous salary support grant to Care after Combat that will allow us to continue to increase our capacity and deliver support to even more veterans in the Justice system.
Care after Combat CEO, Adrian Kirk, said “This latest grant from the Veterans’ Foundation will ensure that the charity is able to increase its operational capacity to meet the needs of some of the nation’s most vulnerable veterans. We have seen our number of beneficiaries grow six-fold since March 2020 and we must grow as an organisation to be able to sustain delivery of support. We are truly grateful to the Veterans’ Foundation for the decision to award Care after Combat this grant funding and thank all players of the Veterans’ Lottery for their kind contributions.”
Founder, Major General David Shaw, said “The Veterans’ Foundation has been set up to help fund charities and other charitable organisations that are helping serving and former members of the Armed Forces, and their dependants, who are in need.”
“The Veterans’ Foundation raises its money through the Veterans’ Lottery and donations. Since inception in July 2016, it has given over £11 million through over 600 grants to over 300 unique organisations, many of them small to medium-sized and very worthwhile charities, which are helping members of the Armed Forces community who are in need. Forecasts indicate the Veterans’ Foundation will make grants totaling £4.4 million this financial year. The charities and other organisations we have helped include those tackling the challenges of mental and physical injuries, homelessness, unemployment, children’s loss of parents while serving and remembrance. We encourage you to spread the word.”
