Aggie’s supports all personnel serving in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and their families with pastoral and practical support. 

Aggie’s has Pastoral Workers based in RN establishments and RM units across the UK and has a dedicated Pastoral Worker, based at Whale Island, for those serving in the RFA. 

Aggie’s Pastoral Workers are available to listen, chat, offer comfort and support and signpost all serving personnel and their families as they require.  

Aggie’s Pastoral Workers work in close collaboration with the chaplains and are often located within NCS Havens and coffee bars, which offer a relaxed environment for personnel. 

The Community Waves teams in Portsmouth and Plymouth offer families a timetable of events based in and around SFA areas. Events range from fitness and walking groups to sewing, craft and coffee and toddler groups.  The timetable of all events can be found on Aggie’s social media.  

Aggie’s Storybook Waves is a FREE service that enables all personnel serving in the Royal Navy to record a bedtime story for their children to listen to whilst they are separated.  Separation can be through deployment, non-operational separation, courses and long shift patterns. 

After the story is recorded, sound effects are added and then sent to the family with the Aggie’s gift pack that includes; a copy of the book read, copy of the NCC’s Zoe and the Time Rabbit, Aggie’s Mini Medals for each child, bookmarks and aged appropriate deployment journals.
