About The Colonel’s Fund
The Grenadier Guards have been on three operational tours in the last three years and during the last tour in Afghanistan, the Regiment suffered 5 fatalities and 32 injured, as well as an indeterminate number of psychiatric injuries, some of which may take over a decade to appear. We can confidently predict that there will be a marked increase in the number of welfare cases over the medium to long term and that we will be unable to resource them properly from our existing charitable funds, which are already fully committed.
The next ten years promise to make extraordinary demands on the Regiment – serving Grenadiers and their families and particularly those members of the Regiment who have left through disability or work-related illness. The Colonel’s Fund Grenadier Guards is designed to support, alleviate and improve the prospects of all those Grenadiers subsequently in need. Specifically it will enable the Regiment to: support the families of those killed in action by promptly responding to problems of bereavement and hardship. support those wounded or injured on operations, particularly those who have had to leave the Army; to assist in finding them new employment and to help them become active family and community members. support the families of those seriously wounded or injured in prolonged recovery situations.
