The Royal British Legion
Since our very first trip to the American games, The Royal British Legion has been our most generous supporter. BEWSA is a branch of the RBL in it’s own right, having it’s own standard and representative within the RBL. The Legion also granted BEWSA its own place in the Cenotaph march past on Remembrance Sunday and those of our members who attend say what a moving experience it is. BEWSA subsidises the travel for this event and also pays for the overnight accommodation. We try to keep our membership fee low which hopefully encourages our members to become members of the RBL too. After all, we are heavily supported by them. However, joining the RBL is not a pre-requisite to membership, so don’t worry if you can’t afford this. See membership details.
The Not Forgotten Association
The Not Forgotten Association has also been one of our earliest supporters, sponsoring a number of our members attending the American Games. They are also extremely generous in giving our members a number of invitations to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace and also a Christmas party at St James’ Palace. A number of our members have also had the opportunity to experience all the activities at the Calvert Trust outward Bounds centre in Devon. Again, kindly provided by The Not Forgotten Association.
ABF the Soldiers Charity
ABF has been a major supporter of BEWSA since our inception, we are proud that our work with disabled Army veterans has been recognised by them as important for the well being of those soldiers who have been injured while serving our country, we are also grateful for the financial support that has been given to BEWSA.
Seafarers UK
Seafarers UK is a major and generous supporter of BEWSA and its disabled former Royal Navy and Royal marine’s members for many years, they have supported Welfare, attendance at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games and the Scuba diving activities of BEWSA.
The Queen Mary’s Roehampton Trust
The Queen Mary’s Roehampton Trust has been a supporter of BEWSA for over 15 years, they have financially supported all sporting activities that BEWSA is involved in as well as supporting the welfare needs of disabled veterans who have been injured in service, BEWSA is extremely grateful to them.
