#servicenotself
Just like our members, The Royal Engineers Association (REA) shares a common goal; service not self. We are committed to providing our membership with help and support no matter what shape it takes.
Even if you just want a chat, we’re here.
Who are the REA?
The Royal Engineers Association (REA) is the Regimental Association of the Royal Engineers.
Originally founded in 1912 under the name The Royal Engineers Old Comrades Association, the Association acts as a link between service and retired members of the Corps.
Why does the REA exist?
Each year the association considers hundreds of requests for assistance from serving and retired personnel and their families.
Our role is to provide support to those who have given so much and are in need whilst maintaining and promoting awareness of Corps traditions.
How does the REA benefit its members?
Beyond providing assistance, members are able to join their local or national branch, taking part in activities and meeting like-minded individuals.
Membership also allows ease of access to veteran’s weekends as well as other events held throughout the year.
