Cost of Living Grant

Supporting you through these challenging times
Read more

In response to the challenging times that we are all facing, the OABF is offering a new Cost of  living Grant to help individuals and their
dependants meet the rising costs of food, utility bills, rent and transport.
We are also continuing to provide guidance and support, as well as referrals, to specific military charities and other charitable organisations, for financial and individual support should you need it.

The OABF aims to deal with all applications sensitively, promptly and in confidence. We will arrange, where necessary, home visits by OABF volunteers,
known as Honorary Representatives, many of whom are former officers themselves. They work  closely with our Grants and Welfare team who remain on hand to provide practical and emotional support.
