A show of force for UK’s injured servicemen and women
Just Rifles, the UK military charity committed to supporting wounded and sick servicemen, veterans and their families has opened its registration for its 9th annual charity event, taking place on 24 October at The Brewery in London.
Last year’s dinner and dance saw more than 600 people enjoy a gala dinner and entertainment, with special guests and poignant speeches from military personnel.
The evening raised more than £170,000, with all the proceeds going towards the rehabilitation of ex-servicemen and women through re-education and physical and mental health therapies.
