The presence of His Majesty King Charles in his first public appearance as Captain General Royal Marines proved a moving and surprise bonus to those attending Friday evening’s (10th March 2023) spectacular performance by the world-renowned Massed Bands of His Majesty’s Royal Marines at the 51st Mountbatten Festival of Music.
Today, in this special edition, we join in celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD).
We are privileged to have the involvement and support of so many remarkable and inspirational women
Thirty two former RM’s joined the trip, including instructors and support team members, some of whom now live in the French Alps and who gave up their time for free to ensure everyone got the most out of their time on the slopes. The group was split into two so each could enjoy a week-long session over the last fortnight of January.
Members of our Employment & Education, and Health & Wellbeing teams, returned inspired from RMA – The Royal Marines Charity having had a prominent presence and taken advantage of the enormous networking opportunities at the annual National Transition Event (NTE) hosted by Mission Motorsport (MM). It was held at ‘The Wing’, Silverstone Circuit’s state-of-the-art conference centre in Northamptonshire.
Today, we send very best wishes to all of those who have a special tie with Wales – a very happy St David’s Day – and for all runners, a limited-time offer that will be difficult to refuse to celebrate this special National Day; the famous Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines is on the move in spectacular fashion, and there’s news of an amazing Everest Challenge and of some inspirational fundraising in the US!
Taylor was medically discharged from the Royal Marines Commandos in 1998 following a heart attack. After being discharged, he found work in a homeless facility before deciding to re-train as a registered mental health nurse, going on to specialise in caring for dementia patents.
This year we look forward to welcoming as many Royal Marines as we can to take part in the Graspan Parade. We would also like to invite you to attend the reception that we will be hosting at The Union Jack Club, you can purchase tickets below.
This week, read the story of a former Band member and how the Charity’s work can help those who face compulsory medical discharge; we branch out with a new monthly focus; and you can see how your favourite pooch can become the talk of the town!
