HOW YOUR MONEY HELPS
The coronavirus has created a new battlefield this year for ex-military already struggling and socially isolated due to poor mental health - ex-servicemen and women who are the hardest to reach.
You will directly support Walking With The Wounded's work with our principal partner, the NHS, and the 200 other organisations we collaborate with to support those who have served in the Armed Forces and their families, empowering them to regain their independence, thrive and contribute in our communities.
We work within NHS mental health teams, in police custody suites, and homeless hostels to help those who have fallen the furthest with our mental health, employment and care coordination programmes. We can't do it without you.
Our mental health programme has been independently reviewed twice, showing that our therapy has a lasting impact. Read more about Walking With The Wounded's programmes
