The ACC Association was formed in ????

The Association ceased to be a charity on 31 December 2006 and all responsibility for benevolence or welfare passed to The Royal Logistic Corp Charity.

It, along with the other Forming Corps Associations, is a constituent but autonomous part of The RLC Charity; managing its own activities and subsidiary branches. There is specific ACC representation on three of the Charity’s management committees, these being The RLC Charity Board of Trustees, The RLC Heritage and The RLC Benevolence committees. The full organisational chart of the RLC Charity showing the reporting and funding lines can be seen here.

The management of the ACC Association is overseen by the Association’s Executive Council which meets annually. The role of the Council is to ensure all the necessary actions are taken for disseminating information about the Association and the functions it organises and to conserve the heritage, deeds and traditions of the Army Catering Corps. All the day-to-day administration is done solely by the Association’s Secretary, a paid part-time post, which is funded by the RLC Charity.

The Secretary is assisted in his task by other members of the Executive Council, who give their time voluntarily and free of charge to assist with communications to members, the Association’s web site and compiling the Association’s Newsletter. Not having any form of subscription or the benefit of a “Days Pay Scheme” the ACC Association has no source of income of it’s own. All funding for the Association comes in the form of very generous grants from The RLC Association Charity. The ACC Association would have ceased to function in any form many years ago without the contributions it receives from the Charity.
