THE RAOC CENTRAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT 1982 TRUST 1. 2. 3. DEED Under a Deed of Trust first issued by the Charity Com- mission in 1952 the following three funds were established to receive the assets of disbanded RAOC Units: RAOC Central Officers Mess Fund RAOC Central Sergeants Mess Fund RAOC Central PRI Fund The conduct of the funds is regulated by an Executive Committee, which is responsible to the RAOC Managing Trustees for the efficient operation of the institution. Full details are contained in Corps Instructions No. 610 and 620. At the discretion of the Executive Committee grants may be made to units, messes, regimental institutes and individuals, or otherwise for the benefit of personnel serving in the RAOC. The Standing Orders regarding the administration of the Funds are in Corps Instruction No. 610. ACCOUNTS 4.

The Executive Committee approved during 1982 special grants totalling £15,390 to units and individuals for activities as varied as a mountaineering expedition, a trek across a desert, trans-Atlantic sailing, a jungle trek, various sports equipment and assistance to those units whose personnel were involved in the operation to recover the Falkland Islands. In addition, the Executive Committee approved loans to units and projects totalling £8,450. 8. These special grants and loans are made by the Executive Committee from a sum of money which is set aside each year to help individuals, groups and units who, by their sporting or adventurous activities and the sponsorship of special projects, bring credit to the Corps or benefit to its members. When these involve the individual, group or unit in significant private expense, the Committee will consider making a grant as a contribution to funding the project. 9. Applications for a grant or loan should be made by a unit or individual in January each year as stated in Corps In- struction No. 610 paragraphs 11 and 12. COVENANTING ONE DAY'S PAY SUBSCRIPTIONS 10. RAOC Central Funds and through them all Corps In- stitutions, need and receive annual subscriptions from the RAOC Officers and Soldiers One Days Pay Schemes. All Corps Funds can receive a big boost to income if members covenant their subscriptions, as outlined in the RAOC GAZETTE March 1983 edition on pages 384 and 385. This increase of 40p for every £ subscribed to Corps Funds by covenanting is obtained by a tax refund from the Inland Revenue without the payment of any increase in sub- scription or the undertaking by members of any commit- ment which is not automatically cancelled when a soldier leaves the Army. All Corps Institutions will achieve this highly desirable goal if every member covenants his sub- scription—please obtain particulars from your Orderly Room.
