THE ARMY BENEVOLENT FUND’S BEST EVENTS

food challenge


Food fund

AS part of this year’s Big Curry campaign, Lt Col Stephanie Jackman (CO Glasgow OTC) organised and ran an event at Glasgow University along with the support of local restaurant, Ashoka Ashton Lane. Army officer cadets from Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities’ Officer Training Corps competed against the restaurant to see who could produce Glasgow’s best curry, with six dishes being sold for £2 a portion on the day. Members of the public were asked to vote for their favourite curry and the Army chefs came out on top.

Total raised: £856

THIS month’s Ranked comes courtesy of ABF controller Maj Gen Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, who commissioned into the Grenadier Guards in 1964 and clocked up nearly 40 years of service before retiring in 2001.
He said: “We are working to provide support to soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need. Because we are dependent on donations, we must raise around £6 million each year to continue our vital work with members of the Army family. These range from children of serving soldiers to veterans of great age.
“To make this happen, I and my team work with a network of regional fund-raisers across the UK and in other countries such as Cyprus and Germany.
“The outcome is that every single fund-raiser and fund-raising event makes a difference to those who need it most.”
