Service charities

Durham Army Cadet Force (DACF) is one of 61 County based organisations that make up the Army Cadet Force throughout the UK. The Cadets participate in a number of educational activities including First Aid, map reading, marching and of course sporting and adventure activities! The Trust makes a regular donation to both the Durham and Northumberland ACF of £3,000 to help with the cost of providing activities for the Cadets.

The Trust has a long association with many charitable organisations supporting North East Service Personnel and their families. The Trust makes regular donations to the NE Army Benevolent Fund, SSAFA, Royal British Legion, Combat Stress, the Air Training Corps, the Durham Light Infantry County Association, and Reserve Forces Associations and assists many other local associations with a variety of projects. In support and recognition of the magnificent contribution of Reserve Forces personnel, the Trust has set aside funds to provide additional Personal Accident Insurance for NE Reservists who are deployed to serve in combat areas.
