royaltankregiment.comAbout Royal Tank Regiment Benevolent Fund
The Royal Tank Regiment Benevolent Fund, established in 1966, exists to deliver charitable relief and support to present and former members of the Royal Tank Regiment, including serving soldiers, veterans, medically discharged personnel, and their immediate dependants facing need, hardship, or distress. Rooted in regimental loyalty, compassion, and pragmatism, it acts as a welfare safety net for this tight-knit military community, with trustees from the Regiment ensuring high governance standards and case-by-case decisions that prioritise urgent crises. The Fund focuses on financial grants addressing acute personal welfare needs, such as emergency living costs, specialist medical requirements, housing stability, and access to training or education aiding recovery.
