Introduction
History
Celebrating
75 years
of the
RMA
Looking after
our own then,
and now
Mr Paul Deacon
Trustee, Association Chairman
Throughout the various echelons of
the Charity, volunteers have given
their time freely and with continuous
enthusiasm to help those most in
need of our support. Notably, from
individual members and teams who
have taken on physical challenges to
raise much needed funds through to
our newest members — our recruits
at CTC — who have signed up to the
service day’s pay giving scheme.
As we reflect on 2020 and
pass through 2021, the 75th
Anniversary of the formation
of the RMA, I would like
to give my thanks and pay
tribute to all our Corps
Family branch officials,
volunteers, fundraisers
and benefactors.
It has been a tough period for our
country, for many members of the
RMA and the Charity too and although
we have been unable to meet and
enjoy our friendships and esprit de
corps, work and support has continued
remotely and often independently
during these difficult times.

All our officials, volunteers and
fundraisers deserve our thanks and
gratitude for their determination,
courage, unselfishness and
their cheerfulness, often in the
face of considerable physical
and mental challenges.
I would also like to highlight the
valuable contributions made by
our Trustees, a number of whom
have faced the intricacies of
managing their own businesses
whilst allocating their precious
time to raising funds and ensuring
the Charity remains well-governed
and maintains a strong, steadfast
financial and strategic position.
“Our Charity is at
the forefront of
organisations that
support the Armed
Forces community
— serving, veteran
and families.”
We are able to provide that
service by having a superb,
dedicated and passionate
team that often go over and
above our expectations.
Thank you for your support
and I encourage you to
participate in the activities
and events that help to
make our association
and charity thrive and
maintain our drive
towards sustainability.
