Our history
The nature of military engagements might have changed over the intervening years but the importance of providing practical support for those who have made great sacrifices on behalf of their country remains as important now as it was in 1803 when Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund was established by the Lloyd’s market.

The history of the first 200 years of Lloyd's Patriotic Fund is recorded in a beautifully illustrated book, Unbroken Service, which is available from the Lloyd's Shop.
