The Derby branch of the Parachute Regimental Association (PRA) comprises a group of ex-servicemen with experience dating back to World War 2, committed to supporting a number of charities that exist to meet the needs of armed forces personnel during and after their military service.

"May the defence of the most high be above and beneath, around and within us, in our going out and our coming in, in our rising up and in our going down, all our days and all our nights, until the dawn when the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings for the peoples of the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
