The Royal Army Physical Training Corps Association (Registered Charity Number: 1053934) Headquarters, The Royal Army Physical Training Corps Mackenzie Building, Fox Lines Queens Avenue, ALDERSHOT Hampshire, GU11 2LB ## **EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TRUSTEES** **Chairman** : Brigadier E J R Chamberlain, **Vice Chairman** : Lieutenant Colonel J Hughes, ## **Members** : Lieutenant Colonel C Deed MBE, Major W Pacter, Major D Boocock, Captain C Burnett, Warrant Officer Class One D Southern-Naylor, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) G Davies QGM, Major (Retd) G Chapman, Major (Retired) D Kerridge, Major (Retired) J Larkham, Major (Retired) T Parker MBE, Major (Retired) C Wilkinson, Mr D Smith ## **Regimental Secretary** Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) G B Jones ## **CHAIRMAN’S ANNUAL STATEMENT** ## **1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021** **Introduction** . The past 12 months has been unusual and challenging. The Coronavirus pandemic has had an impact upon The Corps and the Association as major events have been cancelled and RAPTC Association milestones missed as a result of the restrictions placed upon us all. Notwithstanding, The Royal Army Physical Training Corps (RAPTC) and The Association have risen to the challenges. As both Commandant and Chairman of The Association Executive Committee, I am immensely proud of what has been achieved in the circumstances and of the manner and vigour with which all our Association members have responded to the frictions and complexities of the last year to adapt and overcome and to find new and better ways to do things. Pre-pandemic we were slowly moving more towards virtual and distributed activity and were tentatively starting to exploit the power of contact via social media. The pandemic has enabled innovation and increased the pace of change. We have all responded well to the new technical demands and ways, but it is most gratifying to see that there has been no loss of focus on the importance of family – regimental and personal – and the need to foster and support belonging and physical contact. It gives me great pride to note that this sense of belonging is as strong if not stronger across all parts of our Association now than it was pre-pandemic. I continue to be immensely impressed with the very tangible esprit-de-corps of The RAPTC Association. I am grateful to you all for all you do to foster and sustain it; long may it continue. **Governance.** As a registered charity, The Association is held to account by the Charity Commission for England and Wales who judge our performance against the objects within our governing document - The RAPTC Association Constitution. The Constitution is supported by a set of Internal Rules (IRs) which articulate the duties and responsibilities of The Trustees and The Association’s sub-committees. Copies of the Constitution and IRs can be found on The RAPTC Association Website at http://raptcassociation.org.uk/. The Association’s Executive committee controls our charity and is comprised of fourteen Trustees. They are accountable to The Association’s members and the Charity Commission for ensuring that 1 The Association remains solvent, well run and provides support to our members in accordance with the Association Constitution. The Trustees (seven serving and seven veteran volunteers) work on behalf of all Association members and ordinarily meet biannually to discuss all aspects of Association business. However, Covid restrictions have dictated that this year they had to operate differently and consequently the Executive committee met virtually via Zoom rather than in person. This occurred without detriment to business and normal procedures were followed to propose, debate and approve measures through quorate voting. **Trustees** . The serving trustees hold ex-officio appointments linked to their military assignments. Consequently, in the last year Lieutenant Colonel S Collinson, Maj S Semple, Captain S Jackson, and Warrant Officer Class One R Mackenzie have stood down as Trustees on retirement or at the end of their tenure. On behalf of all Association members I would like to thank them for their conscientious and professional approach and for the considerable work they have undertaken on behalf of all Association members and the Charity. In their place we welcome Lieutenant Colonel J Hughes, Major D Boocock, Captain C Burnett and Warrant Officer Class One D Southern-Naylor to the Association Executive Committee. **Capital and Investments** . The Association’s finances are broadly in two parts – working capital and investments. The working capital accounts are managed and administered in accordance with Service Funds Regulations; the investments manged on our behalf by Blackrock within a Charity Authorised Investment Fund (CAIF). **Capital** . The level of working capital held in the Association’s accounts continues to meet our planned and necessary expenditure and is at an appropriate and sustainable level. This year expenditure has been very low in comparison with pre-pandemic norms as Covid-19 restrictions have prevented our beneficiaries from spending their annual grants or allocations. Consequently, at the start of the Financial Year (FY) 21/22 we have more available working capital than usual. This has enabled the Trustees to consider and fund additional minor projects for the benefit of our Association, and I am pleased to report that the Trustees have also agreed to carry over all unspent funds and grants allocated during FY 20/21 into FY21/22. In addition, I remain most grateful for the voluntary contributions to The Association by our serving members and for the additional generous donations we have received. These contributions and donations remain essential in ensuring we can provide benevolence and welfare support for serving and retired members when they need help. Our accounts are currently with the independent auditors and we do not expect any adverse comments. The audited accounts will be submitted to the Charity Commission within their directed timeframes. I commend the Regimental Secretary and his assistant, Mrs Jules Fairclough, for their diligent and effective management of the accounts. They have overcome the complexities of remote working to deliver superb support to The Association’s members as well as the Executive Committee; on behalf of the RAPTC and The Association I thank them. Equally, I thank HQ RAPTC for their continued oversight, assistance and assurance. **Investments** . The Association’s investments remain healthy and have not been adversely affected by the pandemic, despite fluctuations in the economy and global stock markets. Our investments are regularly monitored enabling BlackRock to provide the Trustees with an annual assessment of our fund set within an overview of the trends across the financial markets, and quarterly updates on the performance of The Association’s investments. The also invite The Regimental Secretary and Trustees to their biannual unit holder meetings. On your behalf we have engaged with all these opportunities. 2 The resilience of the CAIF has meant that we have continued to receive quarterly dividends and to grow our holdings. The Trustees having therefore had the ability to slightly revise our financial allocation plan and I can report that we are confident we can sustain the existing level of annual allocations to The Association’s Branches, Clubs and specific purpose funds whilst also slightly growing our reserves and making provision for longer-term projects such as RAPTC 165. **Benevolence and Welfare** . All requests for benevolence are treated with the strictest confidence and The Regimental Secretary works closely with other benevolence providers to ensure our members receive the most appropriate support. Despite the lockdowns and working from home, The Association has continued to provide an undiminished level of benevolence and welfare support to Association members. In addition, The Association has made welfare grants to support Branches, Corps sports teams, Association events and provided funds to commission a silver replica of the RAPTC memorial. **Association Branches** . The pandemic has prevented all the Branches form holding their annual reunion dinners; despite this they have sustained an active focus at regional level maintaining regular contact with their members. With direction and guidance from the Regimental Secretary, Branches have continued to provide support to bereaved families at member’s funerals and where possible buglers from Army Bands have also continued to support funerals. The Trustees remain fully committed to supporting all the Branches and the valuable work they do for all members of The Association. On behalf of all members of The Association, I thank the Branch Chairmen, Secretaries and their helpers for their selfless and unswerving commitment; without it the Branches would not exist and without the Branches The Corps and its veterans would be very much the poorer. Equally, I remain grateful for the informal associations that have sprung up worldwide and for the work done by former serving members of The Corps to foster and maintain good relationships around the world with serving and veteran members of The Corps and with our allies and affiliated regiments and corps. It is invaluable work. **Association Annual Awards** . The presentation of the Association awards to those who have enhanced the prestige of The Corps and Association had to be done differently this year. In a break from the norm, this year individuals received their awards from their Commanding Officers rather than The Colonel Commandant or other Corps senior leaders. I wish to particularly mark the award of the Gelder Trophy. It is awarded annually to ‘The Association member who has contributed most to enhance the prestige of The Association’. It is always difficult to choose the most worthy recipient given the extraordinary efforts so many of you make; this year was no different. However, this year’s selection was clear cut and the Gelder Trophy was awarded by Lt Col (SMAA) S Collinson RAPTC to Major (Retired) Chic Wilkinson for his considerable efforts to resurrect the Eastern Branch. On all your behalves, I thank and congratulate Chic. **RAPTC Museum.** The Association provides an annual grant to The RAPTC Museum. Under the expert guidance and drive of our professionally qualified Curator – Mr Eli Dawson – the museum has had another good year, despite being closed to visitors for several months. The Curator has used this time well to digitize much of our archive and to increase our virtual presence and global outreach through innovative use of social media and virtual tours. **RAPTC Reunion.** 2020 was the 160[th] anniversary of The Corps. Regrettably, Covid restrictions prevented the planned reunion and celebration of this milestone of Corps history. However, the Association Trustees felt this anniversary should nevertheless be recognised and a pre-recorded virtual Commemoration Service was held to Remember and Reflect, recognise our 2020 Corps Award 3 winners and provide an overview of our Veterans and The Corps of today and the future. The virtual service was a great success, with Association members from around the world logging in and participating. As the virtual event was less expensive than the physical one that had been planned, The Trustees reallocated some of the unused funds and commissioned a silver replica of the RAPTC Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum. I am happy to announce that this piece has been completed within budget and delivered to The Corps. Routinely it will be in the RAPTC Museum on public display but, when appropriate, will be available for display at Corps and Branch events. **RAPTC Association Service of Commemoration** . Restrictions allowing, it is hoped to hold a Service of Commemoration at the RAPTC Memorial within the grounds of the National Memorial Arboretum on Saturday 11 September 2021. Planning for this is underway and details will shortly be promulgated by the Regimental Secretary. **Conclusion** . The Association provides a focus for all serving and retired Association members around the world; fostering and enhancing esprit de corps and comradeship whilst providing benevolence and welfare support for those who require it. This does not happen by chance and I acknowledge the hard work and commitment of The Trustees, The Regimental Secretary and his assistant to deliver an excellent service to you all. On behalf of all Association members I unreservedly thank them for enabling The Association to achieve the objects of the charity, thereby preserving the traditions of The Corps, the heritage of The Association and ensuring The Association remains fit for purpose.
