Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshires) Benevolent Fund

The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshires) Benevolent Fund is a dedicated regimental charity rooted in the heritage of the Queen's Regiment and its forebears, focused on relieving hardship and distress among serving and former members of the PWRR, their dependants, and antecedent units. Its mission blends compassionate welfare support with promoting regimental efficiency, morale, and traditions through confidential, evidence-based grants delivered in partnership with organisations like SSAFA and The Royal British Legion. Core values of camaraderie, duty, and professionalism distinguish it, emphasizing lifelong care for the regiment's extended family via practical interventions that address poverty, disability, injury recovery, and community connectivity.

It funds emergency hardship relief, including mobility aids, home adaptations, essential household goods, healthcare access, and regimental activities like reunions that foster esprit de corps. Beneficiaries encompass individuals, families, regimental branches, veterans' groups, and aligned military charities demonstrating direct regimental ties and clear financial need, with recent examples including £10,000 for veteran digital outreach and annual disbursements of around £150,000 for welfare needs.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups with regimental connections, primarily operating in England and Wales (favoring traditional areas like London, Kent, Hampshire), though no strict geographic limits apply; small grassroots organisations are preferred without formal income thresholds. It does not accept unsolicited applications—organisational requests require initial phone/email contact with the Benevolence Secretary or Regimental HQ, while individual cases route through appointed caseworkers with home visits and evidence. Grants range from £500–£5,000 for individuals to £1,000–£10,000 for organisations, awarded on a rolling basis with quarterly trustee meetings and expedited urgent cases; no fixed deadlines. Exclusions include general overheads, unrelated projects, or lacks of hardship proof, uniquely tying aid to regimental identity and holistic morale-building.
