CARE HOMES
 

Following the conclusion of the Second World War, National Service was implemented in the United Kingdom from 1949 to 1960.

 

Many individuals aged 80 to 90 likely have a connection to the armed forces.

 

Reach out to us to discover how we can assist in reconnecting them with their past service.

UNIT WELFARE OFFICERS

We aim to connect former service members with their Corps or Regiments and match them with homes through our links to regimental associations.

 

We also seek to partner entire Units with nursing and care homes close to them.

 

Contact us to learn how your unit can participate.

VETERAN VOLUNTEERS
 

Veterans in the community are the backbone of Battle Buddies.

 

Your involvement allows us to support members of our service family living in care facilities.

 

By connecting with your Service, Corps, or Regimental association, we can help link you to care or nursing homes in your area.
