For more than 50 years, The Gurkha Welfare Trust has been dedicated to honouring the courage, loyalty and sacrifice of Gurkha soldiers by providing vital welfare, financial and medical support to them and their families. Built on the values of service, dignity and compassion, the organisation exists to ensure that the men and women who once served with exceptional bravery are never left without the help they need in later life.

At the heart of this mission lies a deep appreciation for the unique bond between the UK and the Gurkha community. Many Gurkha veterans live in remote and challenging areas of Nepal, where poverty, limited healthcare access and the physical demands of ageing can severely impact their quality of life. Recognising this, the charity delivers a comprehensive, boots-on-the-ground welfare system designed to reach even the most isolated households.

Their work is supported by a dedicated network of Welfare Centres across Nepal, as well as home-visiting teams who travel to mountainous regions to provide direct assistance. Whether offering regular financial support, facilitating urgent medical treatment, or helping veterans access essential services, the organisation ensures no one is forgotten.

In the UK, the charity also supports Gurkha veterans and their families who have settled after service, helping them navigate housing, healthcare, financial challenges and integration into civilian life.

Beyond individual welfare, the organisation invests in stronger communities. From clean water systems and sanitation projects to earthquake-resistant homes and safe community infrastructure, their work uplifts entire regions and builds long-term resilience.

The Gurkha Welfare Trust provides welfare, medical and community support to Gurkha veterans, their families and their communities, enabling them to live with dignity.
