02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Highlanders Regimental Trust Fund is available to serving and former soldiers and their dependents, who paid into the One Day's Pay Scheme. They should have served in either the Regular, Reserve or Cadet forces, cap badged as Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons & Camerons). Money is made available via RHQ SCOTS / SSAFA once a Case File is complied and financial assistance agreed. Money is provided by the Regimental Trust Fund to RHQ SCOTS where the SO2 Welfare working with SSAFA create a Case File. If the Case File meets the 'welfare criteria' and confirms that the party requesting assistance was a serving / former paid up member of the Highlanders then an appropriate sum of money will be allocated against that Case and transferred to SSAFA who will conclude the business with the requesting party.
