For 65 years the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) has worked tirelessly to provide support to serving soldiers, former
soldiers and their families in times of need. The people we support include those with disabilities or mental illness, people experiencing homelessness or
unemployment, and older people.
Welfare
The Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) is the Soldiers' Charity. We provide support to soldiers, former soldiers and
their families in times of need. We work in partnership with Regimental and Corps Benevolent Funds and in co-operation with other Service
charities. We identify and investigate eligible cases in "real need", and provide them with financial support.
Fundraising
We are dependent on voluntary donations, the ABF must currently raise around £5.5 million each year to continue its
vital work with members of the Army Family. The ABF has a network of regional fundraisers across the UK and in other countries such as Cyprus and
Germany. Individual need can range from an electric wheelchair or a stair lift for an injured former soldier to care home
fees for a Second World War veteran or a much needed holiday for a war widow and her young children.
