The Airborne Forces Security Fund Registered Charity No 206552

The Airborne Forces Security Fund Was set up in 1942 and provides help for all those members, ex-members, and their dependants who are in financial difficulties. The Fund originally relied on donations and bequests. In 1947 as the wartime units were disbanded their funds were donated to the Security Fund. These were invested and still provide income today. In the 1980s the day's pay scheme was started and all officers and other ranks serving toady pay one day's pay per annum towards welfare and Regimental activities.Part of this sum comes to the Security Fund. Donations and bequests however are vitally important and gratefully received. The Fund is managed by a Board of Trustees (all ex-airborne) who meet twice a year to decide policy. The day-to-day running of the Fund is the responsibility of the Controller who, with his staff, has an office at RHQ, The Parachute Regiment.
