We’re proud to award a £150,000 grant to Haig Housing, helping improve homes for Army veterans and their families. 💚

Your support helps provide more than a house—it helps create a home.

Linda’s story is one of love, loss, and family.

After losing her husband, Lt Col (Retd) Max McNamara, suddenly in 2019, Linda and her family were searching for a way to remember him. Max served 41 years with the Royal Engineers and was known for his kindness, compassion, and unwavering support for others, values he saw reflected in ABF.

💛 Turning grief into purpose
Since then, Linda and her family have taken part in at least one Operation Bletchley challenge every year since it started, raising over £3,500. What started as a way to give back has become a meaningful family tradition.

From walks across the country to local strolls after work, Op Bletchley has brought the family closer.

👏 Thank you, Linda, for sharing your story and showing how fundraising can bring healing and connection.

Step into the story behind D-Day.

Starting at Petersfield War Memorial, this route follows the path of thousands of troops who moved silently through Hampshire in 1944, preparing for the Normandy landings.

In the nearby Forest of Bere, over 3,800 soldiers and 300 vehicles were hidden in woodland camps The journey ends at Southwick Park, where Eisenhower made the final call for D-Day

History happened here. Now you can walk it.

Rawnie joined the Army at just 16, serving with the Royal Corps of Signals and deploying to Afghanistan at 19. Years later, the impact of her service, combined with the pressures of civilian life, led to a breakdown.

With support from ABF and The Poppy Factory, Rawnie received vital mental health support and tailored employment guidance.

Now thriving in her role at B&Q, she feels stable, supported and optimistic about the future, proving how the right support can lead to a fresh start. 💚
