The BFBS Big Salute

The BFBS Big Salute is an annual campaign that raises vital funds for armed forces charities. It is separate to grants awarded under the BFBS Welfare Fund scheme.

Most recently, the BFBS Big Salute has awarded grants to nine charities: Building Heroes, Bournemouth War Memorial Homes, Clervaux Trust, AF&V Launchpad, Our Wilton Trust, Royal Air Forces Association, Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, Scotty's Little Soldiers and Winchester Sea Cadets.

We will be inviting armed forces charities to apply for the next round of grants in April 2020.

If you would like to fundraise for the BFBS Big Salute there are loads of ways to get involved.

You can donate direct via JustGiving or fundraise from your own event – here are some examples of how military and civilian communities have helped our beneficiaries.
