HMS Wellington - Connecting and Protecting the World - The Revitalisation Project

The Wellington Trust is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the UK's maritime heritage through HMS Wellington. Built in 1934, this historic ship served as a vital convoy escort during the Second World War and now stands as the last of its kind. Moored on the River Thames, HMS Wellington is a powerful symbol of our naval history. In line with the Fund's investment principles, we will address conservation works and upgrade essential systems to ensure regulatory compliance with event regulations and environmental good practice. We will undertake a Food and Music Festival with Malaysian, New Zealand, West African and Polynesian communities in London. To ensure sustainability, we’ll appoint 1 x Project manager, create 3 x new revenue streams, develop 3 x community partnerships, 1 x digital archive, 1 x interpretation soundscape, engage with 500 people and further develop 2 x strategic partnerships, further cementing HMS Wellington’s cherished heritage.
