Thousands of veterans across Britain are fighting a daily battle with combat trauma and are in urgent need of support. Some are so damaged that they go on to take their own lives.

When you Sponsor A Veteran through Operation Lifeline you give hope to heroes. On behalf of our armed forces and veteran community, thank you.

Sponsor A Veteran - monthly donation

£10
£20
£50
£
Please select a monthly donation of £10, £20, £50 or choose your own amount in the final box (minimum £10).
Sorry, the minimum amount for Sponsor A Veteran is £10 per month due to the cost of providing long-term care and support to those with complex trauma. Thank you for your support.

Once signed up, your impact on a veteran’s life begins straight away. Every month, veterans that you are helping will share their journey of recovery. You’ll learn more about how Sponsor A Veteran is rebuilding their life. You will also be provided with regular updates from the charities across the country that are delivering this life-changing work on your behalf.

And not only that, you will also receive an Operation Lifeline lapel badge in recognition of your sponsorship support. Please wear it with pride - you are part of a very special community.

Your monthly sponsorship is changing lives. It provides:
  • The very best one-to-one professional counselling, so that the invisible scars of service can be healed – it is the start of a journey of recovery.
  • Vital 24/7 telephone helplines for our armed forces and veterans at the lowest of moments.
  • Funding for support dogs as well as providing access to wellbeing activities where veterans heal together - group therapy can be crucial to recovery.
  • Research into PTSD to find better treatments and help for our armed forces and veterans.

With your help through the Sponsor a Veteran scheme, Operation Lifeline will deliver new hope for our heroes in need and reduce suicide rates in the armed forces and veterans community.

When a veteran begins their rehabilitation, it is a journey that can be complex and emotional. Support for those with PTSD can take time. For that reason we ask you to maintain your monthly sponsorship for as long as you are able. Sponsor A Veteran is a minimum of £10 per month to ensure we can fund ongoing care across the country. If you would like to pledge more your sponsorship will have an even greater impact.

Press ‘Next Step’ to enter your details and choose your Gift Aid option - if you are a UK taxpayer you can make your donation worth 25% more.
This means, for every £1 you give we receive 25p more from HM Revenue and Customs for good causes.
After making your Gift Aid choice you will be able to complete your donation on our secure payment gateway.


Your personal and financial details will be handled safely and securely.

Adding Gift Aid* will increase your donation by 25% from £ to £

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on my donations in the relevant tax year, I will be responsible for paying the difference. The Gift Aid claimed will help fund the full scope of the Veterans' Foundation's activities.

The Veterans' Foundation will claim Gift Aid from the tax I’ve paid for the relevant tax year. If I pay a higher rate of Income Tax and want to claim additional tax relief, I will include my Gift Aid donations on my Self-Assessment tax return or ask HMRC to adjust my tax code.

Please let us know if you need to cancel or change this declaration, if you no longer pay enough Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax, or if your address changes. We must have your current home address to confirm your taxpayer status, or we may not be able to claim Gift Aid on your donations.

Whilst it only takes you seconds to do, it means that another 25% on top of your monthly sponsorship will be given to veterans in need for free. That simple tick costs you nothing but the extra money could save a life.
Thank you.

*I want to Gift Aid my donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years to the Veterans’ Foundation. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in the current tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
