Benjamin Whitworth

You’re doing what?

The short answer is the Army Benevolent Fund's 2024 Frontline Walk, a four day trek retracing the escape route of Allied servicemen and Jewish refugees through the Pyrenees.

Why? To raise as much money as I can to help the British Army’s national charity continue its amazing work supporting veterans and serving soldiers with independent living, care, training, mental wellbeing and housing, and the families of service men, women and veterans who need it.

The Army gave me a wonderful start in life and I was lucky enough to come through physically and mentally unscathed and to be able to embark on a rewarding career. But I am also aware that many of the wonderful people I served with, as well as those coming before and after, have not been so fortunate.

In 2022/3 the ABF helped 70,000 people in 45 countries worldwide, and funded 74 other charities and organisations that deliver frontline services. You can read all about it here How we help - Army Benevolent Fund.

Cover platform costs

I’d like to add a little extra to help cover the fees of maintaining the technology that keeps this platform available for donations. Why?

Gift Aid I confirm I have paid or will pay an amount of UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or community amateur sports clubs that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I have given.
