At Defcon Airsoft, many of our players, customers, and friends have served or currently serve, and we know how deeply the military community shapes the spirit of airsoft in the UK.

That’s why we are proud to highlight and support the Veterans’ Foundation®, encouraging our audience to learn more about this organisation and the vital work it funds for serving personnel, veterans and their families.

Read on to explore the work of the Veterans’ Foundation® and why your support makes a real difference.

⭐ Who Are the Veterans’ Foundation®?

The Veterans’ Foundation funds trusted organisations across the UK to support serving personnel, veterans and the people and communities around them. From national charities to local community initiatives, we support those best placed to respond to the real challenges facing serving personnel, veterans and their families, including mental health, housing and community-based support. Since our launch in 2016, we have awarded over £40 million through more than 1,500 grants to over 600 organisations. We stand with these organisations creating change where it counts for the Armed Forces community.
