How We Help
Every year we assist thousands of people in the RNBT Family who are in need. Our aim is to help them enjoy a reasonable quality of life mainly by providing wide ranging financial assistance and caring for older people in our own care home.
Grants to Individuals
We make grants to assist in a very wide variety of circumstances. For example, if there is a need, we will give help towards living expenses, house repairs, disability aids, job training, all sorts of financial difficulties and much more. Every year we respond to adout four thousand applications with grants totalling about £1.5 million. See Financial Help/Grants to Individuals.
Annuities
Our Annuities provide some older members of the RNBT Family on very low incomes with a small but regular financial supplement. We currently fund over 1200 annuities at £195 per quarter – a total of over £930,000 each year. See Financial Help/Annuities.
Grants to Organisations
We give limited financial assistance to a few organisations which support members of the RNBT Family – for example a hospice in Portsmouth and another in Plymouth. This is a modest part of our budget. See Financial Help/Organisations.
Care Home - Pembroke House
Pembroke House is our home near Chatham in Kent, where we look after about 50 older members of the RNBT Family who need nursing or personal care. See Care Home/Pembroke House.
Housing - John Cornwell V.C. National Memorial (JCVCNM)
The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust is the sole trustee for the John Cornwell V.C. National Memorial, 6 semi-detached cottages for disabled and infirm sailors and their families, located in Hornchurch, Essex. See Housing/JCVCNM.
Advice
We receive a constant stream of requests for advice about welfare and naval matters. Often we can provide the answer ourselves, but if not, we are usually able to direct the enquirer to someone who can.
