RNRMC Support Veterans With New £65k Grant

Grants

The Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC), in partnership with Greenwich Hospital, has awarded Veterans Outreach Support (VOS) with a grant of £65,000. This grant was received through the RNRMC’s ‘Through Life’ funding pathway, which acknowledges that support can be required at any stage in life, and channels funds to provide tangible difference at whatever stage it is needed. This grant is in addition to the RNRMC’s earlier grant this year of £25,000 for another project being delivered by VOS. 

 

With this grant, VOS will be able to continue providing camaraderie, connection and compassion to improve the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of Royal Navy and Royal Marines veterans and their partners. Thank you to the continued generosity of the RNRMC, the financial support is invaluable to our delivery to our VOS Community.

Veterans Outreach Support delivers support to veterans and their partners in a variety of ways, and funding from the RNRMC is critical in supporting service users. 

  • VOS delivers Wellbeing support by organising activities, events and social groups to promote camaraderie, community and fun.
  • Welfare support can take many forms and VOS assists with tackling loneliness, signposting, advocacy and accessing benefits.
  • Mental health support is often crucial for veterans, serving personnel and their family members, and VOS provides support in the form of cognitive, behavioural and emotional wellbeing therapies or treatments.
