2026 has kicked off with great excitement!
As mentioned in our previous newsletter, we secured a spot in the London Marathon this year, with Major Rob Brown proudly representing the Corps and raising an impressive total of just over £7,000! We are incredibly thankful for his outstanding efforts.
Donations are crucial for us as a charity. They empower us to assist our three R's: Regular, Reserve, and Retired Community. One of the ways we provide support is through benevolence grants. We consistently evaluate our grants, and recent years have shown significant trends.
In 2024, 24% of our benevolence grants were allocated to individuals aged over 67. This percentage decreased to 20% in 2025, and for the beginning of 2026, it stands at approximately 12%.
Moreover, in 2024, around 10% of our grants were allocated to serving soldiers, including Reservists. This figure rose to 15% in 2025, and for 2026, it has reached just under 20% to date so far.
These statistics provide valuable insights into where our support is most needed and how we can best assist our Corps Family in order to achieve the largest impact.
