Greenwich Hospital has awarded £540,000 to Launchpad as part of a new three-year funding agreement to support homeless veterans from the Royal Navy community.
The funding will provide accommodation and wraparound support for up to 36 veterans from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary who have complex needs.
Launchpad said the programme will combine housing with employment support, wellbeing activities and independent living services, with the aim of helping veterans move towards long-term stability.

The charity has supported more than 850 homeless veterans since it was established in 2013, operating accommodation sites in Durham, Newcastle and Liverpool.
Deirdre Mills, director of Greenwich Hospital, said the funding reflects a commitment to ensuring veterans have access to safe housing alongside practical support to rebuild their lives.
Launchpad chief executive Jill Murray said the grant would enable the charity to continue delivering “lasting change” by helping veterans develop the skills and confidence needed for independent living.
The partnership comes amid continued demand for specialist housing support within the Armed Forces community, particularly for those facing complex challenges after leaving service.
