Band of the Welsh Guards
The Band of the Welsh Guards is based at Wellington Barracks, London. It was formed in 1915 and has an establishment of 49 musicians. Links with the Regiment's traditional recruiting areas in Wales are maintained by regular public appearances there, often with many of the fine male voice choirs for which the Principality is renowned.

The Welsh Guards Afghanistan Fund
Immediate and short term term duty of care for wounded soldiers lies with the Ministry of Defence, and therefore with appropiate Government departments. There are also a number of Charities such as SSAFA. The Army Benevolent Fund and Help For Hereos which do much to support wounded soldiers and the families of soldiers killed on operations.
But some necessary welfare support. Both immediately and long term, has to be provided from Regimental Charitable funds. The intensity of current and likely-future operation, and the frequency with which the Welsh Gaurds are likely to be deployed. with pace significantly greater demands on these funds-more,probably much more, than the Regimental will be able to provide.
As a family Regiment, the Welsh Guards is determined to be in a position to provide the necessary support for members of the Regimental family-In particular, for Welsh Guardsmen who are wounded on poeration, and for the fmilies of those who are killed.
Thank You for your support.
