BAE Systems donations to Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity reaches £1m in "momentous achievement"

BAE Systems has been supporting the RNRMC since it was established in 2007. The principal charity of the Royal Navy helps past and present personnel who served in the force, as well as Royal Marines, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and their families.

Last year, more than 60,000 serving personnel, veterans and their family members through a range of initiatives. BAE Systems assisted with numerous measures including employability and resettlement programmes for people transitioning into civilian life, sports projects and employee-led fundraising days.

Andrew Jameson, chief executive of the RNRMC, said: “Surpassing the £1m milestone in donations from BAE Systems marks a momentous achievement, highlighting the extraordinary impact of our partnership in supporting the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel and their families. We couldn’t begin to do what we do without the backing of our corporate partners. To reach this milestone is a testament to our close working relationship with BAE Systems.”

Last year, BAE Systems contributed more than £11.2m to charitable projects. Managing director of maritime and land business, Glynn Phillips, said: “At BAE Systems, we work every day to protect and equip the men and women of our armed forces and we’re privileged to continue that support for sailors, marines and their families through our relationship with the RNRMC. We are proud to reach the £1m figure and look forward to continuing our important work together.”
