To increase funding support for medically downgraded personnel, Director of Grants, Jonathan Ball OBE, met with SO1 RN Recovery and Resilience Margins Commander Claire Lees RN and her leadership team, Captain Matt Seymour RM and Chief Petty Officer Angie Cheal at HMS Drake in January 2024.
Joined by Danny Egan, Director of Health and Well Being for RMA - The Royal Marines Charity, Mandy Lindley and Anne Carr from the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity, the cross-organisational group discussed funding recovery courses and programmes for Royal Navy medically downgraded personnel. Tackling the psychological stress that can come with a downgraded status is essential to helping personnel on their path to recovery and redeployment.
Greenwich Hospital partners with the Royal Navy, Naval charities, and other organisations to fund the current and future needs of all Royal Navy personnel and their families. We seek to collaborate within the sector to do this effectively, wherever possible.
