The Rifles Charities exist to support members of all our antecedent regiments as well as The Riflemen of today.
Our wounded, and the families of those who have been killed in action, in Iraq and Afghanistan need comfort and support now and for many years to come. This will require substantial funds to enable us to help them and for this reason the Care for Casualties Appeal has been set up. This is a ring fenced appeal with the Rifles Regimental Trust. Please visit their website at www.careforcasualties.org.uk.
There is also likely to be in increase in demand as the delayed consequences, such as post traumatic stress, of the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan manifest themselves, sometimes years after the event.
HOW CAN I HELP?
You can help our Rifles heroes who have given so much for our security in the following ways:
Make a one off or a monthly donation through the Rifles Charities Just Giving site at:
http://www.justgiving.co.uk/trrt/ . Donations made in this manner are highly cost efficient for Rifles Charities and attract gift aid. As a result even a small monthly donation of £2.00 nets the Charities £2.50 at no extra cost to the giver.
Start a Fundraising Project such as a sponsored run or swim or even a fundraising event like an auction or a Barbecue.
In addition to collecting funds yourself you can create a Just Giving page on the Rifles Just Giving site for your event so that people can donate via your efforts direct to the Rifles Charities. See below for links to posters and other widgets to help you publicise your project.
Make a donation through a legacy or by a one off donation
