Partner with us

A charity partnership unlike any other

Partner with us and you can directly help our work reaching out to injured, ill and isolated veterans and serving military personnel.

Together we can provide the connection and confidence they need to reconnect with the world, re-find themselves, and quite simply smile again.

Our partners and donors play a major role in our work. They support our beneficiaries and enable our programmes financially.

In return they get a unique opportunity to engage with veterans at our events and listen to their stories.

Gaining a true appreciation of what each veteran has been through and how our work has had a life-changing impact on them.

Partnerships with purpose

We aim to build partnerships with purpose, aligning our mutual objectives and tailoring your involvement to your interests and requirements.

Our partnerships go beyond the pound signs and offer inspiring opportunities for volunteering, skill sharing and collaboration.

Partner with us and get to:

  • Meet the inspirational veterans and service-people we support
    Come to our events and talk first-hand to those who have served our country and sacrificed so much, and whose stories never fail to move and inspire. As a small charity we encourage our partners to get stuck in and meet our beneficiaries, who in turn love to talk to those they know are supporting our cause.

  • Tell powerful stories
    The story of your involvement with us, the events you have helped orchestrate, the impact you have seen them having and the veterans you have met makes for powerful news content and PR material. Many of our veterans are happy to share their experiences publicly, and we will support you with words and images wherever we can.

  • Amplify your brand to our engaged online community
    We’ll talk about you on our website and social media channels just as much as you talk about us. Our 30,000 social media followers and 5,000 e-newsletter readers take real notice of who we name-check.
     
  • Build your reputation as a forces-friendly employer
    As a Silver Award Armed Forces Covenant organisation ourselves, we can advise you on demonstrating your commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and provide the evidence you need to achieve recognition as a Forces Friendly organisation.

How can we work together?

Somerset County Cars and Roundswell Toyota orchestrated a Three Peaks Challenge in October 2023, taking a group of their employees plus joint partner Taunton Titans RFC and some of our veteran beneficiaries to conquer the three highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales. They raised £2,282 and impacted the lives of all those who took part.

Organise a challenge event

A dinner and auction evening at the Five Zeros Supercar Barn in Bradford on Avon in 2023 raised over £5000, while every July Avro Yachting hold the Reginald Fessenden Sailing challenge for corporate teams on the Solent.

Hold a corporate fundraiser

The Suffolk Freemasons funded one of our ‘Summer Drive-In Concert’ events in September 2023 at Euston Hall in Suffolk, enabling 200 veterans to enjoy a social experience in a safe space with like-minded people and giving their own members who volunteered at the event a unique uplifting experience.

Fund a wellbeing day, concert or afternoon tea

We have been the chosen charity for many high-profile events and organisations including the Ideal Home Show and Ideal Home Show Christmas, the British International Military Tattoo, Capel Military Show and City Veterans CIC.

Make us your chosen charity

We are incredibly grateful to have tickets and hospitality donated by partners including the All England Lawn Tennis Club Wimbledon, the RFU at Twickenham, Ascot Racecourse, Guards Polo Club, and live concerts UK-wide courtesy of the Liz Hobbs Group; providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our beneficiaries.

Provide tickets to events

Every year the owners of the beautiful Maison 10 villa in the south of France donate two weeks of accommodation free of charge for us to take veterans on respite breaks. Other businesses and individuals have donated paintings, military memorabilia, limited-edition spirits, and money-can't buy experiences such as dinner at the Special Forces club, which raise significant amounts of money in fundraising auctions and raffles at our events.

“It is wonderful being able to experience military sense of humour and banter again – the kind that makes you laugh until tears run down your cheeks. It has lifted our spirits and helped plug a hole of longing and searching for that missing piece.”

A word from one of our partners

The Provincial Grand Lodge of Suffolk Freemasons

“With a longstanding tradition of philanthropy, Freemasonry has been supporting various charitable causes for centuries. Working in partnership with The Not Forgotten brings together two great legacies of care and support, aiming to create a significant and positive impact.
Partnering with The Not Forgotten on their ‘Drive In Concert’ programme for the last two years has delivered fun and respite in a safe environment to over 1,150 veterans and helpers across North Yorkshire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Kent, and Suffolk. We were able to leverage funding and deliver maximum impact with minimal management.
Supporting the Drive Ins in this partnered model identifies Freemasonry as a force for good and is a way of networking within our communities. A blueprint has been written so that other Freemason Provinces around the country can support The Not Forgotten in future years. Most importantly, it supports the veterans who put their lives on the line to defend our country.  A great testament to the strength of unity and the power of collective action.”
