This is why I don’t donate to any of these so called ‘Veterans Charities’.
Unless it’s the ABF, RBL, RNA, RAFA, RAFBF, SSAFA, Help for Heroes or Combat Stress they aren’t having my money. I’m especially suspicious of anyone standing in a supermarket wearing a beret claiming to be fundraising.

For some military personnel, leaving service and returning to civilian life can be tough. Problems once shared as a team, become darker problems alone. At SSAFA, we seek to reach all our Armed Forces family so they never battle alone. #RequestingBackup www.ssafa.org.uk/requestingba...

Does anyone know of any UK armed forces community charities on Bluesky?
I’ve just searched for:
• Royal British Legion
• SSAFA
• Blesma
• ABF The Soldiers’ Charity
• Help for Heroes
• RAFA
None appear to be here yet…
My micro non-profit is here via me (Veteran Law Project); there must be more!
