Dartmouth Caring has paid a fond farewell to outgoing Britannia Royal Naval College Commodore Simon Williams and his wife Charlie.

Simon has received a promotion and will soon be moving to London, but their time in Dartmouth shall not be forgotten, said Dartmouth Caring Chairman Dee Nutt.

During Simon’s tenure as Commodore, the BRNC supported Dartmouth Caring in many ways, including a recent initiative that saw willing groups of Officer Cadets helping the charity’s clients in a variety of ways, including handiwork around the home to clearing a messy garden. The cadets were a credit to the Royal Navy, and even bought flowers for the clients they were helping.

Dee organized and paid for a special goodbye for Charlie at Browns Hotel onAugust 15 and presented her with a beautiful bunch of flowers to say thanks for all the support.

Dee said she was delighted to do so, as the couple has been such a great supporter of Dartmouth Caring.

She said:  “Simon and Charlie have in their posting to BRNC been great supporters of Dartmouth Caring.  Simon as Commodore has supported the charity from a professional perspective and privately Charlie has joined Dartmouth Caring’s ladies lunch, a group that meet regularly at Browns.

“We wish them luck – and we congratulate on Simon’s new posting in London, he thoroughly deserves his promotion and wish them luck.”
