PWRR Benevolent Fund
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The fund's stated purpose is welfare for serving personnel, veterans and dependants, and promoting the Regiment's efficiency, so an organisation with no link to these groups is unlikely to fit.
- Typical grants in the annual report run from £550 to £14,500, with a median of £4,600, so a modest request sits comfortably within what it has given before.
- No published process exists for applications in general, but for welfare help the route is to contact the Assistant Regimental Secretary at RHQ PWRR with a full description of the problem, after which a caseworker from the Royal British Legion or SSAFA may be involved.
- Its geographic focus is not stated, though the Charity Commission lists its area of operation as throughout England and Wales, and the annual report does not say how competitive its giving is.
