Patron Capital, the pan-European investor focused on property-backed investments, is the principal sponsor of the annual Guildhall Dinner held by the RMA-The Royal Marines Charity (RMA-TRMC), which last night raised over £1.1 million to support the Royal Marines family
The RMA-TRMC annual Guildhall Dinner is the charity’s main fundraising event, in aid of its work supporting former service men and women. Last year, RMA-TRMC provided over £3.6 million in benevolent support, touching the lives of more than 24,000 association members.
Patron’s sponsorship of the RMA-TRMC Guildhall Dinner forms a key part of the longstanding charitable partnership between the two organisations. Since 2010, Patron has raised over £6.5 million in funds for the charity, as well as providing mentoring, work experience and business introductions to veterans trying to rebuild their lives following active service.
Keith Breslauer, Managing Director of Patron Capital, said:
“We have worked with RMA-The Royal Marines Charity since 2010 and Patron has been the principal sponsor for every Guildhall Dinner – an event we all look forward to with great anticipation each year. However, this year’s event was especially momentous, as not only did it take place in the year of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, but 2024 also marks the 360th birthday of the Royal Marines, giving us a special opportunity to honour the legacy of dedication and courage that has defined the Royal Marines for generations. With 94 pence of every pound going directly to helping those in need, it’s a great feeling to know that the funds we’ve helped to raise will have such an impact on improving the lives of people who really deserve our respect and support.”
