Objects
The RAMC Charity will promote the efficiency of the Army and in particular the RAMC to:
- Maintain contact between past and present members.
- Foster esprit 'de Corps' through social gatherings, comradeship and welfare.
- Preserve the traditions of the RAMC.
- Promote medical research.
- Relive past and present members of the RAMC and their dependents who are in need by virtue of financial hardship, sickness, age and disability.
- The Charity will operate as set out in its governing document.
In 1925, the RAMC Association was formed to further the camaraderie of WW1 Corps veterans with Sir William Leishman being the first President. There are now some 25 branches around UK with a predominantly veteran membership although most serving Corps members also are members centrally. The Association has traditionally been supported by Corps Funds and especially for the expenses of the branch standards and standard bearers.
