1-1 Support & community volunteering

1-1 support in North of England and Wiltshire & Hampshire: Our Armed Forces Community Programme supports Personnel on Recovery Duty (PRD) veterans and their families to make significant change in their lives, through one-to-one support and active engagement & volunteering in the local community as a part of their recovery and resettlement.

Supporting Recovery and Rehabilitation: As well as physical trauma, many of those referred to us suffer severe anxiety, insomnia and a lack of confidence. Struggling to adjust to their new circumstances, they may feel isolated and purposeless. Some struggle to leave the security of their home.

How does it work? After you make a request for support, our Project Manager will get in touch to arrange a meeting at a time and place that suits you. They’ll have a chat to find out a bit more about you, how you’re feeling at the moment, what your interests or skills are, and how they can help you get to where you want to be. They’ll find a volunteering placement that suits you, helping you through the process all the way, for example accompanying you to your volunteering placements if you would like support on the first day. We know that everyone works in different ways, which is why our support lasts for as long as you need. We can also help with CV and interview preparation.

We work with major agencies such as the Royal British Legion, RFEA, and the Personnel Recovery Units across the UK.
