ABF The Soldiers’ Charity North East

Welcome to the North East and Yorkshire regional contact page. Based in Catterick Garrison, the home of the British Army in the North, we provide the focal point for fundraising activity across the region. The local team of Barney Barnbrook, Amy Simeon and Jim Duffy, supported by our wonderful volunteers, and soldiers from our local Army units, run enjoyable and challenging events and activities throughout the year.

Our office at Hipswell Lodge (the former home of Lord Baden Powell) is easily accessible and we welcome visitors (preferably by appointment). We are here to support and advise fundraisers, in addition to running our own events. If you would like to support the British Army’s national charity, please do get in touch and we will be happy to discuss options with you. Our volunteers are our bedrock, and we are here to support them every step of the way.

Whilst the ongoing pandemic may still pose many challenges, our priority will always be the safety and well-being of our participants, suppliers, volunteers, fundraisers, and staff.

Keep up to date with our regional activities via our Facebook page, and if you have any questions, please do get in touch with one of the team:
