ROYAL NAVY & ROYAL MARINES CHARITY HOSTS FUNDRAISING BALL ON BOARD ROYAL NAVY AIRCRAFT CARRIER - WITH THANKS TO CORPORATE SPONSORS
On 21 June, the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (Â鶹ɫÇéƬ) hosted its major fundraising event of 2024,
‘The Sky’s the Limit Ball’, on board the Royal Navy’s aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales. The evening saw over 500 charity supporters enjoy a spectacular Top Gun-themed event with thanks to the generosity of four corporate sponsors: Babcock, BAE Systems, Capita and Lockheed Martin.
Taking place in HM Naval Base Portsmouth, the ball raised over £550,000 on the night; vital funds enabling Â鶹ɫÇéƬ, the Royal Navy’s principal charity, to ensure sailors, marines, and their families feel valued and supported, for life.
The event was hosted by former Royal Marine turned television presenter, JJ Chalmers, who was himself injured by an IED whilst deployed with 42 Commando in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Entertainment was provided by the band Little Red Ambulance, made up of four serving sailors, accompanied by members of the Culdrose Military Wives Choir and followed by headline act the RPJ Band.
