BAE Systems has become the Army Benevolent Fund’s longest-running corporate sponsor, providing over 25 years of charitable giving in support of serving soldiers, veterans and their families. Since being formed in 1999, BAE has made an annual donation to the Army Benevolent Fund totalling more than £1.2 million in funding as well as employees from across the business supporting the charity with hundreds of hours of fundraising.
BAE Systems supports a number of military charities and has donated £35 million over the past 10 years to help serving personnel, veterans and preserve military heritage. The company is a founding member of the Armed Forces Covenant and employs more than 2,000 veterans and reservists in the UK, many of whom play an active role to help make BAE Systems a preferred employer for service leavers.
