New football fundraiser for disabled servicemen By Chris Marchington 14/05/2021 Share:
We are pleased to announce a new fundraising ‘elite unit’ has been launched to help disabled ex-servicemen and women. Called Combined Veterans Football Club, the CVFC will raise much needed funds, some of it for Services charity Blesma, a charity that helps disabled ex-servicemen and women.
A newcomer to fundraising, but with big ambitions, CVFC is made up of ex-service men and women doing their bit for less fortunate ex-forces colleagues. They are already planning a season of matches, against some well-known national and international sides.
There is very much a gap at the grassroots of ex-servicemen’s and Armed Forces’ fundraising, where individuals have ‘slipped through the net’ and do not get the help they deserve. No blame, it’s just the way it is.
