“Mobility allows Chelsea Pensioners to enjoy life, it makes their world bigger.” – David Richmond CBE, CEO, Royal Hospital Chelsea

Help the Chelsea Pensioners to be as independent as possible, so they can make the most of our large site and the amazing area they live in.

Without mobility, the world shrinks. Independence, health and wellbeing are compromised, life can become limited and lonely and the cost of care increases. The age of the Chelsea Pensioners means mobility problems are common. It’s vital we address them as soon as possible so our residents can access all our community has to offer and enjoy the retirement they deserve, in return for their loyal service.

The impact of your gift today

We help the Chelsea Pensioners to be mobile in a whole range of ways – from personalised physiotherapy and occupational therapy, to providing life-changing mobility aids like rollators, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. We provide inclusive mobility boosting activities like walking rugby and seated ballet and we ensure outings and trips are accessible, regardless of how mobile a Pensioner is. 

Your gift today could help a Chelsea Pensioner to be more independent.

The difference mobility makes to the Chelsea Pensioners 

“If I’m not mobile it makes my PTSD worse. When I get out for some fresh air and I do my pottery and I do my art, that helps me.” - David H

“My mobility scooter means I can go shopping without needing assistance and get around the Royal Hospital easily. It gives me independence and means I can go to different events and meet up with friends.” – Chris
“If I didn't have the mobility support, I wouldn't go on any trips. I wouldn't do anything, really, would I?” - Mike
