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

Tailored support from our dedicated team

Our dedicated team works hard to understand the interests of every trust and foundation we approach – ensuring that we match our work, as closely as possible, to their funding priorities. In addition, we offer visits so that donors can meet staff and get a real sense of the services we provide for the Chelsea Pensioners.

Trusts and Foundations - thank you!

All donations make a very real difference to the veterans for whom we care. 

The charities and organisations listed below reflect just some of those who have recently awarded grants.  These donations have helped in so many ways – from funding the refurbishment of the Infirmary, to supporting veterans and older people living with dementia or helping to fund our Chelsea Pensioners Veterans Outreach programme.  Crucially, they have also contributed to our core operating costs.

Thank you to all of our supporters and partners, including those who have chosen to remain anonymous
