Comradeship and sense of community are key elements of the health and wellbeing package enjoyed by residents of the Royal Hospital Chelsea – the Chelsea Pensioners.  Our Veteran’s Outreach programme launched in late 2022 with the aim of extending this offer to the wider veterans’ community in the Greater London region and we have successfully built our own network of older veterans from all three services who, as ‘Out Pensioners’, regularly attend events, activities and Drop Ins at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. We are about to embark on an ambitious programme of extending our reach into the regions with in-person and on-line services.

Do you want to be part of this expansion and make a difference by helping the Royal Hospital Chelsea support tens of thousands of older veterans from the three Armed Forces Services by reducing social isolation and loneliness?
