Compassion and community when you need them most
If something serious happens at home - like a death or illness in the family - and you need to get in touch with a serving family member, we’ll help you make contact as quickly as possible.
If they’re serving overseas, call 01452 519 951
If they’re in the UK, call 0800 145 6088
Primary Welfare for families can be provided by the support of family and friends, work colleagues or healthcare professionals. Family members can also get support from their local community chaplains, Naval Service chaplains or ‘Aggies’ – pastoral workers from the Aggie Weston’s charity, who work within many Royal Navy units and local communities.
We also maintain a network of community centres located close to Naval Service units. Community centres are a great way of getting together with like-minded people and building a support network – especially if you’re living away from extended family. The RN FPS Information Support team can provide you with impartial information on a range of support services across the UK and guide you to Secondary Welfare services where appropriate.
Secondary Welfare, carried out by professionally trained military and civilian staff who provide bespoke support at times of personal crisis can be accessed by calling the RN FPS Portal for free on 0800 145 6088
