The Impact of your Support 24/25
The life-changing impact of our work
Our Annual Report covers the highlights of our year and how our work has transformed the lives of thousands of Gurkha veterans, their widows and communities in Nepal. For an organisation with relatively few resources in the UK, the Trust continues to deliver an impact far above its weight in Nepal, thanks to the incredible support of you, our donors.
The Annual Report covers our financial year from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 and includes the audited accounts. Read the full report here or request a hard copy by emailing us.
“This past year has once again been one of remarkable activity and achievement for The Gurkha Welfare Trust. Among many highlights, our delivery of medical care to international standards stands out as a defining feature of our work both for the number of people reached and because it now represents our most significant area of expenditure. This shift reflects our continuing dedication to our core charitable mission: caring for our Welfare Pensioners with dignity and compassion.” Al Howard, CEO, The Gurkha Welfare Trust
