At the heart of our community
We know how daunting it can be when a family member or friend is part of the forces. Whether they’re starting training, on deployment or retiring from service, Royal Navy life can have a huge impact on you too.
It’s why we’ve created support networks, community groups and resources to help you navigate the practical and emotional challenges, and get support from a friendly face when you need it.
Every deployment is different, and each one brings its own set of challenges.
Our personnel are trained to deal with any eventuality, so it’s only right that concerned family members are offered the same support.
Leaving the forces is a huge step, but it’s not one you need to take alone.
Get support from the Ministry of Defence and its charitable initiatives - on everything from financial planning to housing - and make the transition to civilian life as smooth as possible.
