‘Stand Easy’ is a term traditionally used to announce the ship’s crew sanctioned break. This is a time when sailors and marines sit down, have a ‘wet’ (drink) and connect with their ‘oppos’ (friends). By inviting people to host their own Stand Easy coffee mornings, we hope to encourage people to take time out of their day to unwind and chat with their family, friends or colleagues.
The money raised through the Stand Easy campaign will help the RNRMC provide crucial support to members of the Naval community who need it most. £800,000 was spent by RNRMC in 2025 on Mental Health and Wellbeing.
Supporting mental health within the Royal Navy community is a central strand of the RNRMC’s work. Through partnerships with a wide range of military and civilian organisations they provide quality care and support for those suffering from complex mental health issues, funding treatment, counselling, and outreach services. From improving social spaces on ships and bases, to helping elderly veterans remain connected, RNRMC funded projects help combat the causes of mental health issues such as loneliness and isolation, as well as managing the effects.
