Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) is delighted to welcome Vice Admiral Peter Wilkinson CB, CVO as the newest member of our Board of Trustees.
With an impressive 35-year career in the Royal Navy, including 20 years as an operational submariner, Peter brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by our naval community. His extensive leadership in personnel management at both HM Naval Base, Portsmouth and MOD London further strengthens his insight into the needs of our beneficiaries.
In his retirement, Peter has remained dedicated to the welfare of the wider Armed Forces family. His previous roles include Chairman of Seafarers UK and the Forces Pension Society, as well as National President of the Royal British Legion from 2012 to 2016. Most recently, he chaired the appeal to build the Memorial to Submariners at the National Memorial Arboretum. He also continues to support the Royal Navy Football Association as a Vice President.
Peter said:
“I am delighted to join the Board of Trustees of Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity. Having spent 35 years in the Royal Navy, 20 of it as an operational submariner, I have seen first-hand the challenges faced by our naval community. In my retirement, I have remained committed to supporting our Armed Forces family and I look forward to contributing to the vital work of the charity in supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families.”
Peter’s commitment to the naval community aligns perfectly with RNRMC’s mission to support serving personnel, veterans, and their families. We look forward to working alongside him to further our charitable impact.
