Centenary Village Match Funding
We are delighted to announce a £300,000 match fund pledged by three of our charity’s most loyal supporters. All donations and pledges received by 30th November will be matched.*
“Exactly what veterans need”
RBLI’s Centenary Village development will see our charity support hundreds more military veterans and their families every year for the next one hundred years.
Through a wide range of accessible, purpose-built homes, assisted living accommodation and family homes, and with a state-of-the-art community centre at its heart, this £22m development will be a thriving, intergenerational community, providing life-changing support to those who need it most.
With a fully-integrated health and social care model, called STEP-IN, which provides every resident with a tailored plan to help them overcome their unique daily challenges, every resident of the Centenary Village will be supported on a path to greater independence.
Now more than ever, the veteran community need our support – and they will need it for decades to come.

The Next Phase
Every donation will help to complete RBLI’s Centenary Village – the largest veterans’ development in the UK at this time. With your help we are able to build 8 new homes, a training and welfare centre, community cafe & fully accessible gym, all for veterans in need of vital support. We cannot complete by June 2024 without the funds to keep the building works on track.
“I AM VERY CONSCIOUS THAT OUR VETERANS, PARTICULARLY FROM RECENT OPERATIONS, MANY OF WHOM WERE YOUNG, WILL NEED OUR SUPPORT FOR DECADES TO COME. WE NEED TO BE THERE FOR THEM.”
