ABF The Soldiers’ Charity The Soldiers’ Charity began as the Army Benevolent Fund in 1944. We are very proud of our rich history and are determined to make the most of the opportunities ahead of us, building on the last 70 years of success and support. Today, the conflicts may be different, but the pressures on our soldiers remain. As we are all too aware from the news, the Army is bearing the strain of the current conflicts. Hundreds of soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq with many more injured both mentally and physically. That is why in 2007 the charity launched the Current Operations Fund, to support soldiers, former soldiers and their families affected by these conflicts. Welcome to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity. We are The Soldiers’ Charity. We give 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, we provide financial assistance when they are in real need. That’s what we’ve been here to offer for 70 years.
