Our Vision: “That all serving and former soldiers and their dependants should have the opportunity to avoid hardship and enjoy independence and dignity.”
Our Purpose: We give a lifetime of support to serving and retired soldiers and their families in need. We make grants to individuals through their Regiments and Corps. We make grants to specialist organisations and charities that deliver support to soldiers, former soldiers and their families on our collective behalf. We work with veterans of every conflict, including the Second World War and those from current operations. We make grants payments quickly and this responsiveness can make a significant difference at a critical point in peoples’ lives.
Our Values: Integrity - The Soldiers’ Charity is part of the Army’s and Nation’s fabric; we must act accordingly. Respect - we respect every individual and their needs. Loyalty - we have a sense of loyalty to the Army as an institution, its people and those who support us. Inspiration - we create opportunities and inspire others, with the emphasis on a ‘hand-up’ not a ‘hand-out’. Commitment - we must be approachable, effective and quick to respond. Courage - we act on behalf of our beneficiaries without fear or favour, telling it as it is.
