SIR OSWALD STOLL FOUNDATION
Providing supported housing for disabled ex-Servicemen and women since 1917

 

THE SIR OSWALD STOLL FOUNDATION PROVIDES HOMES AND REHABILITATIVE SUPPORT TO VULNERABLE AND DISABLED
VETERANS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HOMELESS.

Based in Fulham, we provide supported housing to hundreds of vulnerable and disabled Veterans, many of whom are homeless. Yet there is much more to do:

· Recent research has shown that on any given night there are 1,100 homeless ex-Service personnel in London alone

· Ex-Service personnel are more susceptible to mental ill health than the rest of the population; this problem will only get worse as troops return from Iraq and Afghanistan

· Many ex-Service people, particularly elderly Veterans are lonely, isolated and suffer depression


WE BELIEVE THAT OUR VETERANS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS and the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation is therefore committed to building and sustaining communities within which ex-Service people can live positively and healthily.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Project 65 is a military charity which was founded in 2007 to raise funds for the care
and support of wounded armed forces personnel. Our aims are simple:

• To raise the profile and funding of major organisations that provide the vital care and support for those affected during the service of their country.
• To promote the efficiency of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.
• To support our armed forces veterans.

Every donation given to Project 65 will make a difference to the amount of money we can provide for our chosen beneficiaries and will enable them to continue providing the vital care and support they give to individuals and families affected by injury or trauma as a result of service in the UK armed forces. These do not just include the
current and recent conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan but also Kosovo, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, The Falklands, Borneo, Aden, Korea and of course WWII.
