remecharity.orgAbout Reme Charity
The REME Charity supports the welfare, wellbeing and sense of belonging of current and former members of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), including veterans, reservists, serving personnel, spouses, partners, children and bereaved families. Founded from historic benevolent funds, the Charity works to relieve hardship and promote esprit de corps within the REME family. Its approach blends practical aid with heritage preservation, guided by values of integrity, service, inclusivity and enduring commitment.
What Reme Charity funds
The Charity funds benevolence through crisis grants, hardship relief, mental health support, rehabilitation aids, education and training bursaries, bereavement assistance, employment transition support, peer mentoring and grants for branch or association events that foster morale and identity. It supports one-off emergency relief, ongoing assistance for illness, disability or unemployment, adaptive equipment, and collective projects for REME-affiliated groups. Grant-making operates UK-wide with occasional support for dispersed personnel overseas.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities and community groups — especially REME Association branches — that serve the REME family. All must demonstrate clear Corps connections. There is no religious restriction, and the Charity shows a preference for grassroots organisations working directly with its community.
What Reme Charity doesn't fund
The REME Charity does not fund work for non-REME beneficiaries. Its focus is solely on the needs of the REME community, from crisis support through to long-term resilience.
How they like to fund
The Charity welcomes unsolicited applications. It provides one-off and ongoing support, blending practical aid with heritage preservation. Its grant-making is tailored to the specific needs of the REME family, working in close partnership with regimental structures.
