Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

The charity was established to ensure that everyone who has served or is currently serving in the armed forces or any member of their family who is experiencing mental health problems is able to, quickly and easily, access and receive appropriate, effective treatment and support. We do this by providing mental health care and support specifically tailored to the unique needs of veterans and their families. We focus on promoting mental well-being and resilience and on fostering a sense of connection and support for those in need. We provide a range of conventional and complimentary psychotherapeutic treatments to help deal with the problems that often evolve from trauma, PTSD or other commonly related conditions that affect individuals who have served or are serving in the armed forces. We also collaborate with organisations working within the veteran community to enhance access to other care and support services.
