Helping Veterans, Nurses, and Those Suffering from Disability
Many of our nation’s family of Armed Forces veterans, and retired nurses, need a renewed purpose following illness or retirement, something that maintains their health and well-being, reduces social isolation, and enables them to continue to serve their communities.
Since 1918, the League of Remembrance have been fulfilling this need through our volunteer programme, that matches our beneficiaries to institutions such as hospitals and community organisations, where they deliver vital, and much-needed, volunteer services all year-round. We call it ‘helping people, to help themselves, by helping others’.
In return for this we provide our beneficiaries, called Remembrance Workers in recognition of our Great War origins, with welfare support, social events, and modest financial grants to cover expenses, and assist with the increasing cost of living.
We also help those suffering from disability, be it funding training to give them employability skills, purchasing adapted equipment to enable them to participate in sport, or funding mobility aids to increase personal independence.
All of our beneficiaries are right at the heart of our charity. We exist only to serve them and our wonderful community organisations, and are so proud of them – each and every one.
We rely entirely on private donations, and legacies are vital to ensuring we can continue to deliver this support. Please do contact us if you would like to know a little more about what we do – we would love to tell you more.
