THE DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE UK ANNOUNCED A NEW COLLABORATION TO SUPPORT COMMONWEALTH VETERANS AND WIDOWS

29 June 2018

The Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League (RCEL), assisted by The Royal British Legion (RBL) (WVF Member Association) have been the driving force behind the scenes.

They are keen to manage expectations and, as yet, there is no detail to the level of support or indeed when it might begin. 

RCEL will pass on details of delivery as soon as they are able to do so.

However, this announcement signifies a very significant shift and demonstrates a genuine desire by The United Kingdom Secretary of State for International Development to provide support.

Together with RCEL and the RBL, the WVF welcomes this positive news.
