  • Respite & Welfare Breaks

    Respite and Welfare Breaks

For Serving Armed Forces.

We are very proud of the Respite and Welfare initiative that we offer, which provides a stay in the Capital for nominated personnel of all ranks. These breaks are intended to offer welcome respite for personnel wounded or injured on Operational Service, or for individuals who have encountered a significant welfare issue.

Respite & Welfare Breaks include the following:

  • Two nights’ accommodation
  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner
  • Tickets to a top London attraction

Please note, this offer excludes any drinks from our bars and does not cover any transport cost to or from the Club.

These can be applied for by Service Charities as well as UK Armed Forces Unit Welfare Officers and Recovery Staff.

To find out more about the scheme and the nomination process, please contact our Membership Secretary on 0207 616 8302 or respite.welfare@vsc.co.uk.

How We Help

  • “Thank you for providing this respite break – it was very much needed. The facilities were impeccable. The staff very friendly and helpful. I hope you continue to provide these much needed breaks – sometimes you don’t know how much they are needed until you are on one!”
