“We like to think we provide a hand up, not a hand out” – Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Mike Tizard, Corps Secretary
The REME Charity is a grant giving charity and we are dedicated to committing at least a third of our annual budget to the benevolence of the REME family. We all hope that members of our family won’t suffer hardship, however, hardship can hit us all.
The REME Charity’s objectives are varied and wide ranging. If you find yourself in hardship please SSAFA or the Royal British Legion who will begin processing your case. If you wish to talk to someone in The REME Charity please contact us and we will be happy to help.
In 2016 The REME Charity gave £186,398.55 to 370 benevolence cases in support of serving REME soldiers and officers, veterans and their families; this was an average grant of £503.78.
The REME Charity also donated £85,000 to The ABF: The Soldiers’ Charity in 2016. The ABF provides invaluable support to soldier and other organisations that assist The REME Family.
This is a total of £271,398.55 spent on benevolence in 2016.
The REME Charity aims to help all in need, however funds are not unlimited.
