In the charity's own words

The Armed Forces Bikers (AFB) is a Veterans Charity. Our main effort is in the raising and granting of funds to support veterans and their immediate dependents in charitable need, if they qualify under our grant policy and as agreed by the charity trustees. We seek to work with other veteran-friendly charities or voluntary bodies, in a multi-agency approach, to offer more effectively help.
