The BBS provides aid and compassionate relief assistance to British nationals living or residing in the western states of the United States (CA, NV, WA, OR, ID, AK, UT, WY, NM, AZ and MT.). The BBS Relief Committee, overseen by the Board of Directors, determines the most impactful assistance for applicants who may be financially distressed, sick, destitute or in need of financial assistance to return to the UK. The BBS also has a robust Events Committee helping to promote the charity through community and fundraising events.
