For 65 years the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) has worked tirelessly to provide support to serving soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need.
The people we support include those with disabilities or mental illness, people experiencing homelessness or unemployment, and older people.
Individual need can range from an electric wheelchair or a stair lift for an injured former soldier to care home fees for a Second World War veteran or a much needed holiday for a war widow and her young children.
Dependent on voluntary donations, the ABF must currently raise around £5.5 million each year to continue its vital work.
Actors from the cast of Coronation Street are backing a mission to send a life-sized Christmas card to British Troops abroad, as part of a fundraising initiative by online personalised greeting card provider Whamoosh!
