Every 5 years, the Gurkha Welfare Trust conducts a review of its strategy, looking ahead to what it should be doing in the next 5-10 years. The 2024 review is being led by Major General Gez Strickland DSO MBE (Chairman GWT (Designate)), and assisted by Lieutenant Colonel (Retd) Elton Davis.

To support the Trustees in their decision-making, it is important that they hear about the condition and the opinions of their current and future beneficiaries. To do this a series of online Surveys are being conducted of Gurkha Veterans in Nepal, UK and among the serving soldiers of the Brigade of Gurkhas.

The surveys of Gurkha Veterans in Nepal and of the Serving Brigade have already been launched separately. This is the final survey and is primarily aimed at UK-based Gurkha Veterans and their widows (however Ex-Gurkhas living overseas may also complete it).

Your assistance is requested to disseminate and promote this particular survey. The survey can be accessed online at the URL link or by using the QR Code below. The survey is anonymous and can only be completed online. We ask that it is completed independently, honestly and objectively and by no later than the 13th of May. There are 47 questions, which will take approximately 30 mins to complete.

The responses are important and will be considered, however there can be no guarantee that GWT will be able to provide solutions to all the suggestions or expectations arising from this survey.

Due to limitations on the platform, it was sadly not possible to do the survey in devanagri.
