We are always delighted to receive testimonials from our Lady Grover members and this one is particularly special and heartfelt🩵:

“I am so grateful to the Lady Grover Fund, it is an amazing organisation and helps at times of great need. It is wonderful to be able to go into a nursing home after surgery, particularly if one lives alone. I would not have been able to manage without them after complicated spinal surgeries. It would have been impossible to come straight home. It takes away much of the stress of going into hospital. Thank you very much LGF!’

For a small annual membership starting from just £65, members can access up to £8000 per year towards the costs related to unexpected illness or injury, including home help, private hospital or nursing home stays, and physiotherapy (from Jan 2027). Open to all serving and veteran members of the UK Armed Forces, tri-service, all ranks. Find out how you and your family could benefit today: www.ladygrover.org.uk

💙 Member testimonial💙

One of our members recently shared how a Home Help Grant has made a real difference to her everyday life:

“I would like to thank you for the money you kindly sent me to pay for my Home Helpers. It has meant that I have been able to safely enjoy living in my lovely cottage and sit in my garden, as well as joining in family get-togethers.”

We’re so pleased that the grant has helped one of our members to continue enjoying her home, her garden and, most importantly, precious time with her family. 💙

I'm sure you'll agree - this photo perfectly captures that special family time that might otherwise have been missed, if it wasn't for the financial support of Lady Grover.

Our Home Help Grant is just one of the ways that Lady Grover can provide financial support to you in the event of an unexpected illness or injury. To find out more and how you and your family could benefit from joining today, visit: www.ladygrover.or.uk

Open to all serving and veteran members of the UK Armed Forces, tri-service, all ranks. New joiners need to be under 65 but can remain a member for life if subscriptions are kept up-to-date.

More people will soon be eligible to join Lady Grover 💙

We’re pleased to announce that, following approval at our Summer AGM, the upper age limit for new members is increasing.

📅 From 1 January 2027
The maximum age for new joiners will increase from under 65 to under 67, bringing Lady Grover’s joining age in line with the current UK retirement age.
This important change will open up Lady Grover membership to more people and ensure that more members can benefit from the support our provision offers.

And, as before, once you join, you can remain a member for life, provided you keep your annual subscription up to date.

More information about joining under the new age limit will be available ahead of January 2027.

Life in the Armed Forces comes with so much to be proud of.

It also comes with plenty of uncertainty.

Whether you're serving, have left the Forces, or are supporting a loved one who serves, life doesn't always go to plan. Illness or injury can happen when you least expect it, and when it does, the last thing anyone needs is added financial pressure.

That's why Lady Grover is here.

For more than 100 years, we've been supporting the Armed Forces community, and today we're proud to be open to serving personnel, veterans and their families, offering financial support when it's needed most.

💜 We'd love to hear from you...
What's one thing the Armed Forces community has taught you about resilience?

💙 Member Story
After surgery, Josephine spent a week in hospital followed by two weeks recovering at home alone.

With support from Lady Grover, she was able to arrange home help during this crucial stage of her recovery.

"The two weeks spent at home, alone, after discharge from hospital were only made possible by having home help. It saved me the pain and anxiety of managing on my own."

The support also brought peace of mind to Josephine's daughters, who were caring for their own families whilst wanting to support their mother through her recovery.

Stories like Josephine's remind us why Lady Grover exists: to provide financial support when illness or injury creates unexpected challenges.

Thank you, Josephine, for allowing us to share your experience.

We always value hearing from our members and understanding the difference Lady Grover can make 💙.

Mrs McClements, a long-standing member, had been living independently for many years. At 91, following a back injury last summer, she needed a short period of respite care in a nursing home, followed by support at home during her recovery.

With limited funds available, Lady Grover stepped in to help. Our financial grant contributed towards her nursing home fees and, importantly, made it possible for her to return home with the nursing care she needed.

“I am delighted to say she has now fully recovered. We cannot thank Lady Grover enough.”

The family also shared how the straightforward application process and quick turnaround - receiving funding within just one week - helped ease what could otherwise have been a very stressful time.

We’re so pleased to have been able to support Mrs McClements and her family when it mattered most.

If you or someone you know - who's served or is serving in the Armed Forces - could benefit from becoming a member of Lady Grover, find out more here: https://www.ladygrover.org.uk
