Its first patron was His Majesty King George VI.
In January 2010, (the charity rebranded ) as ABF The Soldiers’ Charity〔Third Sector Magazine, ("Charity rebranding: a change of vision and strategy" ), ''Third Sector Magazine'', 06/04/10〕 and continues to support the Army family by giving grants to individuals and other specialist charities that help soldiers and their families. It works with veterans from every conflict since the Second World War, including those from recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.〔London Evening Standard, (), ''London Evening Standard, Homeless Veterans Appeal'', 25/11/14〕
