… The day to day running of the Association is controlled by the chairman and members of the elected committee. They are supported by regional organisers throughout the UK. They arrange meetings in their area and maintain contact with members locally. The Association has no paid staff. All the work – including responding to emails and the telephone – is done by volunteers. We have no offices and grateful for the support of The Royal British Legion in providing a mail room facility.
The Association does not make grants to individuals or other charities. We rely upon donations from members, their families and other charities in the ex-service community. We are grateful for a number of generous bequests received in recent years, and for sponsors who underwrite the costs of publishing the newsletter « Courage ».
If you would like to make a donation or sponsor an edition of our newsletter then please contact the Treasurer who will be delighted to assist you.
Funds are used to support events and provide information for our members and to cover the costs of those expenses incurred by committee members and regional organisers, however the greatest cost is the publication and distribution of « Courage ».
