Royal British Veterans Enterprise
Why does the Veterans' Foundation support the Royal British Veterans Enterprise?
RBVE has been supporting veterans since 1919, when it was founded to help soldiers returning from the First World War rebuild their lives. Over the decades it has grown from providing tuberculosis care and early employment opportunities to becoming a national leader in veteran support.
Today, RBVE remains an independent charity with a clear focus on delivering practical, life-changing services. Its social enterprises, Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company and Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, offer meaningful employment to veterans and people with disabilities, while the Lifeworks programme helps those facing significant barriers back into work, with strong success rates.
RBVE also tackles homelessness directly through its award-winning Village in Aylesford, home to 300 veterans, with the £28 million Centenary Village expansion set to add 100 more homes by 2027.
How you can support the Veterans' Foundation
The Veterans’ Foundation has provided grants to hundreds of UK-based military charities and organisations since its inception in 2016. It is dedicated to distributing funding to where it is most effective and millions of pounds have been given to projects that have a positive impact on British veterans, and their dependents, in need.
If you’d like to become of a supporter of the Veterans’ Foundation you can do so by making a donation, by fundraising, by leaving something to Veterans' Foundation in your will or by joining the Veterans’ Lottery. Thank you.
