The Charities

I am raising money for two charities, the Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT) and Soldiers Sailors Airmen Families Association (SSAFA) Forces Help.  All money raised will be split equally between the two charities.

The GWT relieves poverty and distress amongst Gurkha ex-servicemen and their dependants through a range of  financial, medical and community aid schemes.

The SSAFA Forces Help offer practical, emotional and financial support to anyone with a connection, past or present, to the Armed Forces.
