Veterans’ Foundation

The Ulysses Trust is proud to be supported by the Veterans’ Foundation. Veterans are the backbone of many cadet units across the country. Numerous cadet expeditions we support rely heavily on adult volunteers who have served in the Armed Forces to act as adult instructors. With the support of the Veterans’ Foundation we are able to increase the level of support we provide to cadet units supported by veterans. The Veterans’ Lottery helps raise funds for the Foundation, so if you play this lottery you’ll be helping support The Ulysses Trust and many other charities too. Thank you Veterans’ Foundation!

Here is a selection of just some of the expeditions that include veterans that, together with the Veterans’ Foundation, The Ulysses Trust has been able to fund:
