The Royal Corps of Army Music Trust, established in 1999, delivers welfare, benevolent and heritage support exclusively to serving and retired members of the Royal Corps of Army Music and their dependents. Rooted in sustaining the Corps' esprit de corps, morale, physical fitness and musical heritage, its values of service, camaraderie, continuity and excellence drive a needs-driven, bespoke approach that enhances Army efficiency and preserves musicians' specialist roles in ceremonial and diplomatic life. The Trust takes a holistic, Corps-integrated approach blending relief, progression, health and tradition.
What Royal Corps of Army Music Trust funds
The Trust funds targeted welfare grants for hardship, funerals and distress; educational bursaries; loans for instruments and training; sporting and adventurous activities; regimental items; and heritage projects such as recordings, music libraries and anniversary events. Priorities emphasise music-related well-being, professional development, family support during life crises and cultural legacy preservation. There are no regional restrictions – support is available UK-wide.
Who can apply
Eligibility is strictly limited to members of the Royal Corps of Army Music, their dependents, or directly linked Corps groups. The Trust does not have income or size rules for applicants. External charities or organisations not connected to the Corps cannot apply. This focused eligibility ensures support reaches those with a direct association to the Corps.
