supportourparas.orgAbout Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Charity
The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Charity, trading as SUPPORT OUR PARAS, was formed in 2020 to provide unified support for The Parachute Regiment and all British Airborne Forces. Its mission focuses on relieving hardship for serving soldiers, veterans, and their dependants; boosting regimental efficiency and morale; and preserving the Regiment's history and ethos. Guided by values of lifelong camaraderie, resilience, and pride, it blends trustee expertise from the airborne community with prudent, impact-focused governance to fill gaps in state provision. The charity is distinctive for its singular expertise and fusion of immediate relief, transition support, and legacy stewardship.
What Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Charity funds
The charity funds targeted welfare support including bespoke wheelchairs, home and vehicle adaptations, mental health support, mobility aids, bereavement assistance, funeral costs, and family travel to memorials. It also supports career transition through vocational training, and morale-boosting adventures, sports, and expeditions. Heritage investments cover museums, commemorations, and regimental documentation. The work has a UK-wide focus but global reach for memorials.
Who can apply
Beneficiaries are strictly the airborne family, with support for individuals, families, and regimental initiatives, not external charities. Eligibility requires direct airborne connections and a UK base. The charity prioritises serving soldiers, veterans from any era, and their dependants.
What Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Charity doesn't fund
The charity does not fund retrospective claims or causes outside the regimental remit. It also excludes support for external charities and does not provide core funding for other organisations. Funding is reserved for those with direct airborne connections and a UK base, so applications from outside this community are not considered.
How they like to fund
The charity does not accept unsolicited applications. Welfare grants are initiated through caseworkers from SSAFA or the Royal British Legion, who submit referrals to the Regimental Welfare Team. Regimental projects are channelled through established internal routes. Funding decisions are made on a rolling basis, with urgent cases handled promptly.
