Armed Forces Bikers is an organisation that aims to support our fighting forces in Afghanistan, or anywhere they may be. We also run a forum for serving members of the armed forces, veterans and supporters, in some cases this acts as a home for veterans trying to make their way in civvy’ street. We actively seek to raise money through events, rides and the sales of merchandise, which is paid out to a number of forces charities in the UK. We are a non-profit organisation which is seeking charity status in 2012 in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the UK Charity Commission.
