About us
Welcome to The David Ellis Charity
Charity number: 1192363
We are a local charity in Dorset dedicated to supporting military veterans in our community. As an Armed Forces-friendly organisation, we proudly uphold our commitment by being a Bronze Award signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant. This demonstrates our dedication to those who protect our nation. Our charity aims to support not only military veterans but also serving armed forces personnel in Dorset and their families. We offer free recreational, leisure, and social welfare activities to these groups. Additionally, we are committed to supporting the National Health Service and care staff who work alongside our troops during major incidents and military operations overseas, as well as during peacetime. We strive to make a positive impact in the lives of our Armed Forces, veterans, and their families.
