CHARITY APPEAL
FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS

How we help

Established as a registered charity in 2011 Just Rifles is a highly effective charity with very low overheads that mostly supports young veterans who have served in the Rifles Regiment and their families. The Rifles Regiment suffered the highest number of deaths and casualties during the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts as they are always deployed to the frontline.

We provide practical support to veterans that has a tangible impact on their lives. This can include home adaptations to improve independence, specialist sports equipment, support with mental health trauma and help in retraining and finding a job in civvy street. See below on how we make a difference.
