Campaigning is the foundation of the War Widows’ Association; the Association has managed many successful campaigns to improve the conditions of War Widows and War Widowers.
We care by signposting members to the appropriate help and through our network of Regional Organisers we offer friendship and support.
Remembrance, the third pillar of the War Widows’ Association is a very important part of its programme of events.
Upcoming Events
We run a mix of online and in person events for members throughout the year.
