Forces Support is a UK Bereavement and Veterans Charity.

Forces Support is a national charity dedicated to supporting bereaved families of Service Personnel and helping Veterans rebuild their lives. Through a network of high street charity shops across the UK, we raise vital funds thanks to our dedicated staff and volunteers. Every item donated and every purchase made in our stores directly supports meaningful projects delivered by our trusted Service Charity partners.

Founded in March 2010, our mission is to provide relief and support to families of those killed while serving in the Armed Forces, and to ensure that all Veterans have access to world-class care and opportunities to thrive in civilian life.

We focus our support in three key areas:

Hardship Assistance

  • Helping Veterans facing financial difficulties, housing insecurity, or challenges linked to poor physical or mental health.

Employment and Skills

  • Supporting Veterans to re-train, gain new skills, or secure employment opportunities as they transition to civilian life.

Forces Support is also proud to be a national employer of both full-time and volunteer staff. Our shops are recognised as centres of excellence for recycling, and we are signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant and recipients of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.

From donated furniture and clothing to household goods and bric-a-brac, every item we sell helps us deliver real impact for bereaved families and Veterans across the UK.
