The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust (RNBT) was formed under Royal Charter in 1922 to provide for those who are serving or have served as Warrant Officers and below, and their dependants, who find themselves in need or distress.  The Trust’s beneficiaries are referred to as The RNBT Family.  Every year, more than 4,000 applicants are assisted, for further details go online: www.rnbt.org.uk

 

A founding principle of the Trust is that it is predominantly run by serving and retired Sailors and Royal Marines.  Accordingly 11 of the 17 trustees (including the Trust’s Vice President) that form the RNBT’s governing body are drawn from serving and retired RN ratings and RM other ranks and are known as Ordinary Member Trustees.

 

Vacancies will occur for 5 Ordinary Member Trustee positions with effect from 1 April 2012 as part of the RNBT’s routine governance ‘refreshment’ programme.  The election of volunteers to fill these positions, including those who are standing down but may wish to stand for re-election, will happen in the first week of March
