The trust provides care and support that goes above and beyond that which is provided by central government. The overall objective is to make life as comfortable as possible for those who have given so much. It was given charitable status in November 2007, (registered charity number is 1121647) and since then has distributed financial aid to injured soldiers to help with mobility vehicles, to help provide accommodation for the families of those killed to attend remembrance services and also to help with transport costs for the families of those who have been seriously injured.

Its charitable objects are:

1. The relief in need of soldiers of the Parachute Regiment injured in Afghanistan and families of soldiers of the Regiment killed or injured in Afghanistan by the provision of welfare services, support and financial assistance and such other charitable means as the trustees see fit.
2. To promote the military efficiency of the Regiment by sustaining the memories of the loss of life and sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Regiment in Afghanistan by such charitable means as the trustees see fit.

As the Regiment continues its operations in Afghanistan the need for the fund will continue to grow as more soldiers are wounded or killed.

This is our opportunity to give them something back. It is ultimately a matter of personal choice but every personal donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference.
