Felix Fund delivers welfare assistance and financial support to serving military, veterans and their dependants from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) & Search communities from across all three services as well as SO15 (Met Police Counter Terror Unit).
The charity’s welfare activities focus on mental health support. Having played a significant part in the care of over 100 EOD teams returning from the Afghanistan conflict, now the charity offers Dashboard Courses on mindfulness: building awareness of the warning signs linked to mental health problems and sharing coping techniques.
The charity’s financial support meets the needs of individuals and families at the most difficult times. Transportation to regular hospital appointments, adapted disability equipment and funeral costs have all been provided to help ease the pressures inherent in some of life’s most challenging and complex circumstances.
All money raised from this event will go towards helping this unique group of men and women who keep us all safe 24/7.
