This includes troops, members of military families and cadets as well.

Results
Thanks to our customers we raised £137 for Helping Homeless Veterans UK.
Helping Homeless Veterans UK was set up to help and assist any former member of HM Armed Forces who find themselves struggling with being Street Homeless, Living in Hostels or Sofa Surfing.
Comment from Helping Homeless Veterans UK
Our sole aim is to engage with Local Authorities throughout England and Wales to enforce legislation where it is required and also engage with private landlords to find suitable affordable accommodation.
The funds which we will receive from Wire Fence will be spent on the Veterans that we provide continuous welfare support for and we are all Volunteers with no wages spent out and our overheads are covered by Corporate Sponsors.
