Supporting veterans and their families for more than 200 years

Introducing Lloyd’s Veterans Charity

London’s insurance market has supported veterans and their families through the Lloyd’s Veterans Charity for more than 200 years.

We work with the Lloyd’s & City Branch of the Royal British Legion and the Lloyd’s Military Network to put the market’s corporate and individual giving to work efficiently by making grants to established charities. We focus particularly on mental health and employment projects and charities, but support others too.

Formerly the Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund, LVC aims especially to fund organisations which have been unable to raise sufficient support elsewhere to meet their potential for veterans and their families, despite their good work.

We’d like your support. Learn more here about who we help, and how you can join us in support of those who’ve served.

Marshall Blücher to J.J. Angerstein, days after Waterloo

“You stand at the head of Society of noble minded men, whose object it is, by their kind benefactions not only to support & to comfort all those brave & distressed wounded warriors, who bled in the hot days of this month of June for the preservation of national liberty & independence, but also to provide for the widows & orphans of the gallant men who fell in those two bloody days, the 16th & 18th of June.”

Field Marshall Prince Blücher to the Honourable John Julius Angerstein, from Army of the Lower Rhein HQ, days after the famous battle of Waterloo in 1815
