November 18th, 2024Care charities initiate merger to enhance services for veterans
Two charities that care for Armed Forces veterans and their families living with disability, neurological conditions or dementia, have agreed to work towards a merger. Royal Star & Garter operates three care homes in Solihull, High Wycombe and Surbiton, and Care for Veterans (formerly the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home) operates a single home in Worthing, West Sussex.
A merger of these two historic charities will bring together all their existing services and expand the Royal Star & Garter group to four care homes. Consolidating services will enable the charities to share expertise, resources and support functions, to provide a more effective, efficient and wider-reaching offer to the veteran community of all ages.
