What they are, who they benefit

 

Your Club provides and funds free “Respite and Welfare” breaks for those who have been wounded in operational areas. The breaks include provision for a carer, and have benefited those who are genuinely distressed and in need of a break in the Nation’s Capital. This also applies to those who are identified by the major Armed Forces charities as suitable beneficiaries of this scheme.

 

What difference it makes in the words of a R&W guest

 

"We are very grateful and very pleased with the generosity of the VSC and will look to stay here in the future. All your staff are extremely polite and helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. Thank you."

R&W guest, July 2011

 

"We were greeted by such friendly staff on arrival and made to feel so welcome and special, and this really set the scene. Nothing was too much trouble, and having the room already set up with the extra bed and cot - and particularly all the water, biscuits and fruit - was such a nice touch. All in all, just perfect."

R&W guest, March 2011

 

"I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who recently assisted me and my family during my stay at the Victory Services Club. It was a difficult few days for me and my family but having the opportunity to stay at the Club relieved a lot of the stress we were under."
