Who is the Association for?
We are the association for all women who are serving or have served in or with the Royal Navy.
What do we do?
We are primarily a social, rather than benevolent, association, enabling our members to maintain a social network with former service colleagues, and providing opportunities to meet and make friends with others from all generations who have the common bond of Naval service.
Our HQ is in HMNB Portsmouth, but we have worldwide membership, with branches and informal groups which meet regularly throughout the UK and beyond. We also have a virtual branch, which meets monthly via Zoom. You do not, however, have to join a branch and benefi ts are available to all our members.
We maintain links with our members through our website https://wrens.org.uk, various social media platforms (including Facebook, twitter, Instagram and linked-in) and our magazine, The Wren, which is published three times each year (free to all members).
What are the benefits?
Full details of member benefits can be found on our website https://wrens.org.uk, and include reduced entry fees to museums and special invitation events, plus association dinners and social weekends.
