We support The Rifles & its antecedent regiments, including via The Rifles Benevolent Trust, charity No: 1119071, which incorporates Care for Casualties & the Always a Rifleman Programme. Together the Trusts support all serving Riflemen & veterans, with the AARP meeting mental health needs.

Story

The AARP is uniquely designed to intervene during a mental health crisis and guide an individual through their journey of recovery. With over 160 volunteers supporting more than 60 rifleman in need, the RIFLES initiative is the first of its kind. We have trained over 50 volunteers, awarding them all a level 3 MH first aid qualification worth five hundred pounds. It is undisputable that we are saving lives.
