Royal Star & Garter Homes

The Royal Star & Garter Charity, established in 1916, has always depended on voluntary donations and fundraising activity to support its work caring for disabled ex-Service men and women and their widow(er)s, spouses and civil partners.

Over the years thousands of ex-Service personnel have benefited from our special care. Plans to build three new homes are progressing well. Our award-winning home in Solihull, West Midlands, opened in the autumn of 2008, and the new home to replace the current building on Richmond Hill will open in Surbiton, Surrey, in the second half of 2013. The third home will be in the Buckinghamshire area, where there is a significant and growing need and very little ex-Service provision at the present time. Residents in the new homes are accommodated in large bed sitting rooms with en suite facilities and continue to benefit from the wide range of therapies and activities which the Charity provides. The state-of the-art facilities also enable the Charity to offer interim care for young disabled Service personnel. In addition each new home incorporates a specialist unit to care for those with dementia as there is an increasing demand for this type of care.
Legacies and donations help us to ensure that the caring can continue – now and in the future.
