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