The HMS Oardacious Fund
The HMS Oardacious Fund exists to support Submariners and their families with mental health and wellbeing support within the Deployment Cycle. That’s the period that a Submariner is attached to a sea-going vessel - before, during and after a patrol. Every penny raised via our Just Giving page goes to support vital projects for this community.

HMS Oardacious is also proud to partner and collaborate with the following charities:
The Submarine Family brings together all parts of the submarine community: serving, veteran, family and supporter; it provides a framework for fundraising and coordinated support for benevolence, commemoration, heritage and projects which support our ‘family’ in any way.
The Submarine Family is supported and overseen by the RNRMC which provides its regulatory framework. It is led by a board chaired by the Head of the Submarine Service with representatives of all elements of the family, submarine charities, the RNRMC and for Families and Benevolence.
The Submarine Family is free to join. Those who do join are encouraged to make regular donations to support its work. Submariners (serving and veteran) on joining are enrolled, if they wish, as members of the Submariners Association, We Remember Submariners and the Friends of the RN Submarine Museum with all the associated benefits. Family members and supporters who join receive access to the members area of the website and other benefits.
HELP Jim’s Story aim is to increase knowledge, awareness and understanding around mental health, and the impact of poor mental health. Through education we can all learn to recognise symptoms of poor mental health in ourselves and in each other. We believe that mental health needs to be destigmatised and treated as seriously as physical health. Help - Jim's Story (help-jimsstory.com)
