Other Organisations

There is something particularly special for some of us about being part of a unique group.  Whether it is having been part of a campaign, or being part of a group who have faced tragedy and gain strength from each other, this form of comradeship can mean a great deal.  Please look through this section to see if there is an organisation that might add value and shared experience to your life as a Veteran.

There are few institutions in the United Kingdom with an unbroken three centuries of service and none of them is so close to the heart of the nation as “The Men in Scarlet”, the Chelsea Pensioners, and their home, the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Founded in 1682 by King Charles II, the Royal Hospital still serves its original purpose and intends to continue to further its role well into the 21st Century and will be here for today’s young soldiers on the front line when they retire.
