I am very sorry to learn about Paul Cassidy. I remember him very well from 1 RS and from the Regimental Association, especially during the campaign to save the Regiment, not least for his success in fundraising with a rattle can at campaign events. A valiant Old Royal of indomitable spirit.

ROYAL SCOTS BENEVOLENCE
The Trustees are currently recruiting for the new post of Regimental Office Manager (ROM). The post holder will take on the tasks previously undertaken by The Regimental Administrator (Jimmy Springthorpe) and The Assistant Regimental Administrator (Ellie Weir). The ROM will not however handle Royal Scots Benevolence. Benevolence cases, with effect from 1 August 2021, will be handled on our behalf by the SO2 Welfare at RHQ SCOTS (Currently Maj Norrie McKinnon).
Royal Scots Trustees will continue to budget each year for RS aid cases and will transfer that which is budgeted to RHQ SCOTS on a twice-yearly basis. Should there be a surplus at the six month point then the next payment will be reduced to reflect that surplus. Likewise, if a shortfall is identified prior to the six month point then The Trustees will authorise additional payment to ensure all Royal Scot cases are met.
The criteria for handling Royal Scot cases will be that which we currently use, and this will be stated in the agreement being drawn up by both parties. As before, cases will have to be referred for assistance by SSAFA, PoppyScotland, Legion Scotland or TRBL. Any cases received at the Regimental Office after 1 Aug 21 will be referred to RHQ SCOTS for their action.
RHQ SCOTS will provide regular reports on RS Benevolence and an annual summary of all RS cases to the RS Trustee responsible for benevolence.
Many of you have and will wish to carry out fund raising events on behalf of the RS Benevolence Fund and I would ask that you continue to do so. Any money so raised should come to the RS Office and will become part of the funds that will be made available to RHQ SCOTS for RS cases.
If you are seeking assistance or know someone in the Regimental Family who needs assistance, please do not be put off by these changes – get in touch asap!
The ROM will be based in the Regimental Office.
Jimmy
