£20 would contribute towards an emergency grant

ex-Service person struggling to survive
£30 could help towards providing skilled advice
and an hour's representative for a person at a Disability Allowance
or War / Disablement Pension tribunal

prepare & train seriously injured ex-Service men &
women

strengthen an injured ex-Service man or woman
£80 will help us to kit
out a Reminiscence Room in the new Dementia Unit at Galanos House.
This is where each resident's life history can be enhanced
instead of forgotten.

ensure the aftercare of our wounded is of the highest possible
standard.
£250 could buy an emergency
lifeline alarm for an elderly person.
