    Welfare Process

    The Regimental Welfare team at RHQ PARA is here to assist any member of the Parachute Regiment or Airborne Forces in need. The process is designed to ensure transparency and provide an audit trail for any assistance given, which is a lawful requirement. The first part of the process must be initiated by a SSAFA or RBL caseworker. They will complete Form ‘A’ which is then submitted to the Regimental Welfare Team. They will then allocate funds from the Regimental Charities as required. The money does not come from SSAFA or the RBL.

    The following numbers should be used if you do not know your local SSAFA or RBL office number:

    SSAFA Helpline: 0800 731 4880

    RBL Helpline: 0808 802 8080

    Any Branch that requires assistance from the Regimental Welfare Team can call them on: 01206 817102 or see the website for details.
