The hospital home in Worthing was founded by Gladys Marchioness of Ripon in 1919 to care for soldiers returning from the war with life-changing disabilities.
Nearly 100 years on, the charity continues to provide long-term nursing care, rehabilitation, respite and award-winning end-of-life care for disabled ex-servicemen and women at its 60 bed home in Boundary Road.

In the run-up to Remembrance Sunday, the campaign shared the stories of 11 veterans on social media and asked for donations via JustGiving, achieving its objective of £1,111.
Pete Raynsford, managing director, said: “I’m delighted we have raised some money for Care for Veterans and, more importantly, I think we’ve helped to raise awareness of this amazing charity.
“They need a great deal of help going forward, something I hope local people and businesses can provide.”
