The main aim of the Breakfast Clubs is the welfare of its members and NOT for financial gain by ANY person/organisation. If a member needs financial support, then to some extent this may be possible through their local Breakfast Club.
Even though we try to keep business interest and charities away from the Breakfast Clubs this is up to each individual club to make their own decisions, as each club is run separately by its members and some members may also volunteer for Veterans Charities. The CIC is here to produce the guidelines for how clubs should be run. NOT the rules of how clubs should be run, it is run "By Veterans for Veterans" NOT "By Veterans to fill the pockets of the few" and as each clubs Veterans are different then the support which is needed can also differ.

BREAKFAST CLUBS EXPLAINED TO THE PUBLIC
In the military, everything is available in one place: medical, social, the welfare system, your home, wage, clothing and the team you have come to trust. You are trained to do a job, but if you lose that job then your whole life needs to change, unlike civilian life. If you lose your job, you simply look for another one, in the military because you are trained/conditioned for a single purpose you lose your job in the military you lose everything.
As more and more people are leaving the Forces some with PTSD or other illnesses it has come down to the Government to pledge "that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives."( https://www.armedforcescovenant.gov.uk)
All services are represented at the Breakfast Clubs and no one should be discriminated against, if they have served or are associated with such then they may be able to attend a Breakfast Club. The military has a 'black sense of humour' so when attending the visitor may have to cope with this, as the Breakfast Clubs are worldwide then even some members are attending whilst on holiday.
