The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund - June 2013 17K ENDURANCE Challenge Charity |
 |
|
The endowment of Royal Marines charities has grown over the years by means of a limited amount of fund raising but mainly from bequests, most of which were made for quite specific and restrictive purposes. Over time this made the structure unwieldy and inflexible so, with the support of the Charity Commission, the Trustees have been through a process of rationalisation which culminated on 1 April 2010 with the formation of the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund as the overarching Royal Marines charity.
The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund also has its own identity as the most general of our funds and the one with the most flexible purposes. By giving to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund, donors are empowering the Trustees to use the money given wisely, to meet any of the purposes of the wider charity and, crucially, at the point of greatest need at the time.
Part of RMCTF is The C Group - a relatively new initiative, the purpose of the C Group to raise awareness and generate practical support throughout the business community for Royal Marines particularly those who are suffering the long-term effects of injuries sustained on operations. While it does raise funds, its growing role is to offer coaching and mentoring support for those who are transitioning to new careers as a result of their injuries.

Royal Marines Launch Ultimate Charity Mission in London
Royal Marines descended upon the Tower of London in 2011 to launch a major fundraising campaign to support serving and retired Royal Marines and their families.
In an impressive display, commandos fast-roped from a helicopter onto the top of the Tower, before abseiling down it to kick off the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (RMCTF) Campaign – a four-year drive to raise £6million by the 350th anniversary of the Corps in 2014.
