The Stock Exchange Veterans began life as a football team in 1958. Although the only qualification for selection was to enjoy football, many talented players with a wide variety of honours have starred for the Veterans over the years, leading to the Veterans becoming a fundraising charitable trust (no. 211359) with the following aims:
“To assist, in every manner possible, persons in distress, by making grants, either directly or through other institutions”.
No minimum or maximum award levels are published by the Trust. However during 2015-16 the Trust allocated grants totalling £84,565 to 70 applicants. The average grant was therefore slightly over £1,200.
Awards suggest a preference for funding charities that benefit children and have previously included:
o Dorset Action on Abuse;
o Gosh (Great Ormond Street Hospital) – Children with Cancer;
o Dreams Come True;
o Haste;
o Wipe Your Tears;
o Army of Angels;
o Kids in the Middle; and
o Walking with the Wounded.
o Gosh (Great Ormond Street Hospital) – Children with Cancer;
