Army Benevolent Fund

Army Benevolent Fund

The Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) is a British charity. It is the British Army's national charity. The charity provides financial and practical support to soldiers, former soldiers, and their families in times of need.

The ABF works with Regimental and Corps Associations and other Service charities. They identify and investigate eligible cases in "real need", and provide them with financial support.

Dependent on voluntary donations, the ABF must currently raise around £5.5 million each year to continue its vital work with members of the British Army Family.

The American branch of the ABF, set up in 2006, is the British Army Benevolent Fund America (BABFA). BABFA aims to raise awareness of the charity's work amongst the many supporters and ex-pats in America and to raise funds.
