THE QUICK RESPONSE MEMORIAL WOODLAND

The Charity's purpose is to prevent/relieve poverty or financial hardship among former personnel of the Armed Forces, their dependents and carers in such way as the trustees think fit. It provides grants, items and services to such individuals in need. The Woodland provides a place of reflection and remembrance for the families/friends of former service personnel and a public memorial.
