The Hospital also gives substantial support to elderly ex-seafarers and their widows through a range of pensions, most of which are administered by the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust (RNBT). Through the RNBT we pay pensions to 1300 needy ex-members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, or their widows.

We also give grants to the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust, the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Children’s Fund, the Women’s Royal Naval Service Benevolent Trust and the Royal Sailors’ Rests.
