**[The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity](http://www.rnrmc.org.uk/‎) is calling
for applications for its next round of major [charitable funding grants](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/15/google-grants-for-charities/),
after awarding its latest series of grants to help in-service personnel.**

The charity funds projects and facilities that boost morale for serving personnel.
The latest round of grants awarded by the charity’s Naval Service Amenity Fund saw
more than £180,000 given to a variety of projects, amenities, and sporting and leisure
facilities, with sports projects dominating the proceedings.

RNAS Culdrose, the Royal Navy Winter Sports Association, and the 45 Commando Royal
Marines were among the beneficiaries.

Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Culdrose secured nearly £35,000 toward a community
climbing wall. Up to 2,000 serving personnel are expected to use the wall per year,
and a further 600 dependants and civilians will also benefit from the facility. 
Matched funding will be provided by the Sports Lottery while almost £20,000 has 
been contributed by the air station’s welfare fund.

Arbroath-based 45 Commando Royal Marines (pictured) will be receiving a new Combat
Conditioning Area (CCA) as a result of their grant and additional contributions 
from the [Nuffield Trust for the Forces of the Crown](http://www.nuffieldtrust.org/),
and the Royal Navy’s Rebalancing Lives Fund. The CCA will facilitate training for
up to 60 ranks at any time.

Sgt Kevin Bowie, RM Condor said:
