Veterans Charity Collection

Appreciating the opportunity to hold a match day collection when the Cornish Pirates recently played Ealing Trailfinders at the Mennaye Field, the sum of of £569-39 was raised in support of the Veterans Charity.

Commentating on behalf of the charity, Jimmy Clark said:

“Our sincere thanks are once again expressed to the Cornish Pirates for providing the opportunity to make a collection for the Veterans Charity. The generosity and support of the Pirate fans for our Veterans on the day was fantastic, and the considerable sum of money raised will go a long way in supporting our Veterans in their hour of need.”

The Veterans Charity was founded in March 2008 to support UK Veterans of all generations.

​

It provides fast, direct support to Veterans across the entire UK who find themselves facing hardship and distress.

​

Essential items are suppled, including food shopping, clothing, household items like kitchenware and single appliances, utilities support and even smartphones and tablets to aid vital communication.

Despite being a small charity, operating on a small budget with few overheads, since 2011 the charity has provided essential items to more than 5000 Veterans and given guidance and advice to hundreds more.
