Give Us Time was founded in 2012 and established as a Charity in 2013. Having worked as both an Army medic and later as Secretary of State for Defence, Rt Hon Sir Liam Fox, knew all too well the affect that military life can have on service families, and was aware that homecomings are not always as easy as might be expected. The family unit is the rock that underpins military life, be that the military family or the individual service families, who themselves form a close community on which military personnel often depend. Give Us Time was set up with cross-party support in parliament and the charity now has a growing support base within the public.
