Volunteering at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

Our dedicated volunteers play a vital part in providing a greater quality of life to our veterans. They give up their time to befriend Pensioners, help them with activities, take them to hospital appointments, provide assistance with admin and more. We would not be able to do all we do here without their valuable skills, knowledge, energy and commitment.

Current volunteering opportunities:

Sorry, we have no available vacancies at this time.

Infirmary Bombing
Remembering the Soane Infirmary bombing

Today marks 80 years following the bombing of the Royal Hospital’s Infirmary during the Second World War. The magnificent Infirmary, which once stood on the current site of the National Army Museum, was hit by a parachute bomb on 16 April 1941 – destroying most of the building and tragically ending the lives of 13 people.
