With over 20,000 members across 250+ branches in the UK and overseas, we are a family of current and former Naval Service personnel Royal Navy, Royal Marines, WRNS and RNXS, relatives and supporters of our country's Royal Navy.

Whether we are catching up with friends at our regular social events, fundraising, advising on welfare and employment matters or just providing an arm around the shoulder, our natural willingness to help others stems from the tradition and camaraderie that life in the Royal Navy instils, along with values of Unity, Loyalty, Patriotism and Comradeship.

Our Branch meetings are held alternate Wednesday evenings at 8pm at the address in the page footer.
