“It’s not what you do that matters. It’s why you do it that really matters”.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. Please help us reach our target📈 Some background as to why we are doing this…..

Support Our Paras has played a vital role in improving the lived experience of our PARA Permanent Staff who serve here at the Infantry Training Centre (ITC) and our PARA Recruits who go through tough training with us.

Amongst many things, the funds we have received have helped to provide an extra layer of welfare support and extra curricular activities which are not publicly funded. This support from the charity makes a real difference to us all and also makes us feel appreciated for the sacrifices that we make; many of the Permanent Staff see very little of their family throughout the 2 Years that they serve 🇬🇧 at the ITC. It is a big commitment, and the charity is well aware of this and that’s just one of the many reasons why it supports us in the way that it does.

To give back and show our appreciation, PARA DEPOT has taken part in various fund raising events throughout 2026 in support of the charity. Events as follows:

THE NATIONAL 3 PEAKS CHALLENGE - The OC completed the National 3 Peaks Challenge with daughter Amy in October 2026. Starting off at Ben Nevis on Thurs 22nd October. The aim was to complete all 3 Peaks within 24 hours. UPDATE - “All 3 PEAKS done within the 24 hrs despite the difficult conditions on Snowdon when the storm hit us. But we pushed on and got it done in true 🆎 fashion. We’d set off up Ben Nevis at 11:24hrs, so you can see from the Snowdon Hike that we just about got in on time. Thanks ever so much for all your support and words of encouragement”.👏🏼
