Our mission statement, as compiled in 2014 by then Prince Rat (2014) Ian Richards:
“The Grand Order of Water Rats' charitable fund represents an unselfish giving to those less fortunate than ourselves, providing a stream of support for nationally recognised charities, whilst embracing the benevolence of our members, their families and our show business colleagues. It also retains the power to make special awards to worthy individuals or organisations at the discretion of our Trustees.”

The Grand Order of Water Rats Annual Ball returns in 2025 with another evening of star-studded entertainment, incredible food, and the best company, the likes of which only the Rats can offer! Tickets are limited, and the event is sure to be another sellout, so get your place sooner rather than later! We look forward to seeing you there!
