Who are we?

East Midlands University Officer Training Corps is a British Army Reserve unit that offers paid leadership, military, sport, and adventurous training for university students across the East Midlands.

Why are we fundraising for the RBL?

Every donation helps to support those who serve and their families, whatever the need, whenever it’s needed. The RBL is working hard to support the most vulnerable in our society, from older veterans, those who suffer from social isolation, or those who are simply overwhelmed by the challenges associated with the cost-of-living crisis. RBL's support is a lifeline for thousands of serving & ex-serving personnel & their families.

How will the funds be used?

As stated above, the RBL will use the funds we generate to support service personnel and their families. The money we raise will go directly to the RBL, making every donation count.
