SUPPORT OUR PARAS is the only charity which exists solely to support The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces, looking after veterans, serving soldiers and families within our Airborne community. We are there for our nation’s paratroopers through the good times and the bad, from the moment they join our family to the sounding of the last post.

Our three main charitable objectives are:

  • Relief of need, hardship and distress.
  • Promote & maintain history of The Parachute Regiment heritage.
  • Promote efficiency of The Parachute Regiment.

We provide welfare assistance to veterans, serving soldiers and dependants to complement or fill the gaps in State provision, as well as supporting vital aspects of the Regiment’s daily life and history.    

We can provide help with verification of service checks, seasonal gifts for those in need, access to other Airborne funds, social support and possible Regimental support at funerals, through the network of Parachute Regimental Association Branches (PRAs). We also provide welfare support and guidance through our network of volunteer Beacons, please read more on our Beacons Initiative here Beacons Initiative - SUPPORT OUR PARAS.
