Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) is proud to celebrate the dedication and commitment of three outstanding members of our Grants Team – Anne Carr, Sarah-Jayne Craig, and Michelle Midgley , who, between them, have given over 40 years of service to supporting the Royal Navy community.
- Anne Carr, Head of Grants, has played a pivotal role in building up the team and establishing RNRMC as a sector leader in grant-giving
- Sarah-Jayne Craig, Grants Data and Performance Manager, has been instrumental in driving insight-led evidence base to maximise impact.
- Michelle Midgley, Senior Grants Officer, has worked tirelessly to support serving, veterans, and their families, ensuring they are supported.
To mark this special occasion, the trio attended a recent Passing Out Parade at Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth – a fitting tribute to their commitment to those who serve. The event was a powerful reminder of the dedication, resilience, and excellence of the Royal Navy family, values that Anne, Sarah-Jayne, and Michelle uphold every day in their work.
Since 2021 RNRMC has supported BRNC Dartmouth with nearly £90,000 in grants for all kinds of events and refurbishments including Families Days, morale boosting events, sports tournaments, prizes, recognition awards and amenities.
Mandy Lindley, Director of Relationships and Funding at RNRMC said:
“Anne, Sarah-Jayne, and Michelle embody the very best of what we stand for at RNRMC. Their dedication and passion have transformed lives, and we are incredibly grateful for their service. We look forward to many more years of their invaluable contributions.”
Sarah-Jayne Craig, Grants Data and Performance Manager:
“It’s an honour to play a role in ensuring that RNRMC’s funding makes the greatest possible impact. Using data and insight, we can make informed decisions that truly benefit our Royal Navy community. Being part of this work for so many years has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to continue supporting those who serve.”
Anne Carr, Head of Grants:
“Seeing first-hand the difference our grants make to Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and their families is what drives me every day. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible organisations and individuals who are dedicated to supporting our naval community. It’s been a privilege to serve in this role, and I look forward to continuing this important work.”
Michelle Midgley, Senior Grants Officer:
“Supporting our serving personnel, veterans, and their families is at the heart of everything we do at RNRMC. Knowing that our work provides real, tangible help to those in need is deeply fulfilling. Attending the Passing Out Parade at Britannia Royal Naval College was a special reminder of why we do what we do – to stand by our Royal Navy family, now and always.”
RNRMC remains committed to ensuring that every member of the Royal Navy family – past and present – receives the support they need, when they need it most.
