The scheme welcomes businesses that share our high ideals and ethical practices – particularly those with strong Environmental, Social and Governance policies. These principles are integrated across all areas of our work – from supporting our veterans and preserving our magnificent heritage and grounds, to maintaining high standards in the way we run our organisation. 

By partnering with the Royal Hospital, your company can strengthen its commitment to the principles that underpin our centuries-old community, while contributing to a worthwhile cause.

Trusts and Foundations

Creating a centre of excellence in veteran care

Grants from generous trusts and foundations enable us to continue providing outstanding care to the Chelsea Pensioners. This support is critical in ensuring that the Royal Hospital Chelsea can continue its historic purpose of providing a home for veterans of the British Army. 

The many projects that support from grant-giving bodies has allowed us to achieve include:

  • Building the Margaret Thatcher Infirmary and upgrading it to ensure it continues to meet the highest standards.
  • Planting new allotments and building a new Activities Centre to enhance the wellbeing of our veterans. 
  • Restoring some of our important Grade I listed buildings. 

With further support, we will continue to improve our care and facilities, carry out vital maintenance and meet our running costs – so the Chelsea Pensioners can enjoy the best quality of life and this iconic institution can look forward to a safe and bright future. 

The Trustees of The Guyll-Leng Charitable Trust are pleased to support the Royal Hospital Chelsea in its mission to provide the highest standards of care for veterans of the British Army in recognition of their loyal service to the Nation
