**What the charity does:** Groups of 6 individuals are brought together in St Andrews, provided with accommodation and put through a structured 4 week programme that teaches them to become proficient caddies in the sport of golf. A caddie not only carries the players clubs but provides distances for shots, guidance on how to play individual holes or shots, encouragement and company during a round of golf which can be competitive or social. This programme is delivered by ‘Mentors’ who are alumni of the Caddie School programme and local experts.  The individuals are often from different countries, usually 2 x UK, 2x USA and 2x Canada and have experienced physical and/or mental trauma whilst in the armed forces. The Caddie School firstly provides these individuals with a skill that they can use to get employment when they return home but the location, camaraderie and shared purpose helps greatly with their mental health and confidence.
