Join the Families of Veterans Guild today
We welcome all war widows, defence and veteran families as members of our organisation.
Everyone’s situation is unique, but our shared experience is what helps us relate to and support each other.
Defence service is what connects our members – no matter their age, connection to their veteran or family structure.

- biological/step/adopted grandparents of veterans
- biological/step/adopted children of veterans; and/or
- biological/step/adopted siblings of veterans.
Anyone who falls within one of these categories can become a member of Families of Veterans Guild and receive our support and services.
