Behind every uniform is a family living with uncertainty and sacrifice. Armed Forces families face long absences, sleepless nights and sometimes heartbreak.
Your gift today could help RBL be there for Armed Forces families when they need us most, with practical support, expert advice and the breathing space to start moving forward.
When someone serves, their family serves too
For many Armed Forces families, their battle continues long after active service ends. Your support means they have someone to turn to, and for Chantelle Wynn and her daughters, that support was crucial in helping them through the worst of times.
Chantelle’s husband, Ryan, was proud to serve his country, but when he died, Chantelle was left to navigate overwhelming grief while supporting their two daughters. Her daughters were traumatised, and she was facing her first Christmas without Ryan, alongside an inquest and mounting paperwork. She felt she had nowhere to turn.
Thanks to our supporters, we could offer Chantelle help from a trained caseworker, who immediately put her in touch with a solicitor and helped her secure the support her family needed.
Each and every donation can help an Armed Forces family get the support they deserve
Here are just some of the ways your gift makes a difference:
- Education and support for children of service families
- Practical guidance and Bereavement Support Payments
- Food vouchers for families with young children
