The BFBS Big Salute is our annual campaign that raises vital funds for armed forces charities and is separate to grants awarded under the BFBS Welfare Fund scheme.
Each year we invite forces charities to apply for grants to support specific projects for the serving military, families or veterans with every penny raised goes to the beneficiary projects.
This year we are very excited to have awarded £65,000 to 11 fantastic charities who do amazing work supporting the military community. They have great projects and plans coming up for 2021 and we can't wait to see the results!
Each year the BFBS Big Salute committee meet to discuss the applications for the coming year. They consider all applications on merit, impact and measurable outcomes and make the awards accordingly. The committees’ decision is final.
Grant applications are now open.
If you would like to fundraise for the BFBS Big Salute then there are lots of ways to get involved. From sponsored walks or runs to custom themed events and everything in-between, there's plenty of ways for you to raise much needed money for these great causes!
