The RAMC Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work connects to the RAMC, whether through Corps welfare, medical research, RAMC history and education, sports and adventurous training, or memorials, the Charity's stated themes fit.
- Its benevolence support is limited to people who have served at least one day in the RAMC, and it does not fund debt repayment, loans, care home fees or SEND funding, as reported in other published sources, so do not apply on behalf of anyone outside those terms.
- Individual requests go through a local SSAFA caseworker, and officers should approach the Officers Association first, but no publicly published application process exists, so contact the Charity before sending anything.
- No grant range is stated, so ask what size of award is usual before setting a figure.
Overview
The RAMC Charity is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1129091).
The RAMC Charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. It exists to support past and present members of the RAMC and their families facing financial hardship, health challenges, disability, or the difficulties that can come with age. It was created in January when the Corps combined its different funds into one organisation. Its annual report gives annual giving of £494,015, of which £247,753 went to individuals, although the register does not confirm that scale. Its two main roles are funding the RAMC Association's work across the UK and offering support to Corps family members going through tough times.
What they fund
Priority Areas
The Charity supports serving and retired Corps members and those financially dependent on them through benevolence and welfare support. Its benevolent grants help former service personnel and families with medical needs and assistance in civilian life, and can help current personnel for the benefit of RAMC soldiers and officers. It also funds the RAMC Association’s work across the UK and awards grants to units and formations, sports and adventurous training; it supports individual training and new memorials and memorial upkeep. Its wider objects include medical research and sharing results, educating the public and service personnel about the Corps, and sustaining comradeship and welfare. Personal benevolence cases go through caseworkers.
