The Afghanistan Trust
Seeks to raise money to assist in helping the 3 PARA seriously wounded in action and the Next Of Kin (NOK) of those soldiers that lost their lives fighting in Afghanistan.

It provides the funding for pastoral care which cannot be provided from MOD funds or the larger service charities. For example, memorial plaques, replica medals for the NOK where medals (VC and GC) were won posthumously, but have been lent to museums. It will contribute to Cpl Budd’s grave stone and has also been, and will continue to be used, to cover the costs of getting the families of those that died down to the Battalion for the annual memorial service.

The fund will also be used in to support any Wounded In Action and NOK of Killed In Action from the next tour.
