The Gurkha Welfare Trust is the leading Gurkha charity. We provide financial, medical and community aid to relieve poverty and distress among retired Gurkha soldiers, their families and their wider communities.

Story

This year, we are offering a host of thrilling challenges that take place in some of the most beautiful locations across Britain, from stunning coastlines to iconic cities. Whether our participants are planning to jog, run, or cycle, we have the perfect event lined up to test their physical and mental stamina.

- Brighton Marathon, Sunday 2 April 2023

- Manchester Marathon, Sunday 16 April 2023

- TCS London Marathon, Sunday 23 April 2023

- Ride London, Sunday 28 May 2023

- Great North Run, Sunday 10 September 2023

In return for a fantastic experience, each dedicated member of 'Team GWT' has pledged to fundraise for our vital work in Nepal, giving Gurkha veterans and their families the means to live with dignity.

To our participants and their generous sponsors, we'd like to say a huge "Dhanyabad!". With your help, we pay Welfare Pensions (£93.75/month) to Gurkha veterans who put their lives on the line to fight for Great Britain, and provide medical treatment at home for veterans and widows living in the remotest villages in Nepal. We also improve the lives of communities in Nepal, constructing new water systems to bring clean water to thousands of doorsteps, and rebuilding schools which in turn give Nepali children the education they deserve.
