What we do

We aim to make a real difference to the lives of serving and former serving Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel and their families.

  • Sheltered housing

    We support Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel and their spouses, partners, widows, and widowers who live in our sheltered housing schemes in Greenwich, Portsmouth, and Plymouth.

  • Royal Hospital School

    Greenwich Hospital owns the Royal Hospital School (RHS), an independent co-educational day and boarding school in Suffolk. Founded in 1712 to educate the children of seafarers, we continue to provide bursaries for children with a qualifying naval connection.

  • Investments

    Greenwich Hospital’s property portfolio, much of it under our stewardship since the early days of the Hospital, and financial investments fund our charitable activities.

  • Heritage

    Greenwich Hospital owns the Old Royal Naval College (ORNC) site and oversees significant naval heritage objects, with most now on loan to the National Maritime Museum and ORNC.
