If you can spare an hour or two and want to make a difference to fellow veterans. 

In the first instance please contact Keith either via email or phone call (Details shown above) It will be for visiting veterans who have been admitted to the hospital it could incude just sharing a brew, reading to them or just a friendly chat. Whatever you can do it will make a difference to the veterans stay in hospital.

Keith is raising money to have a dedicated garden area within the hospital. If you would like to make a donation please contact Keith either via email or phone call (Details shown above) Any amount however large or small will be greatly received.

After the sad passing of our shipmate Bob, collections were made in his honour. A donation tin was set up by The Royal Standard (Ruby's) Portsmouth which raised  £284.12. A collection at the wake raised  £525.00, plus a few individual donations raised a further £100.00 totalling  £909.12. The association rounded the total up to £1000.00 and the money was paid on 24/02/2024
