Providing support for veterans who need it the most At Walking With The Wounded, we empower veterans by reigniting their sense of purpose, enabling them to make a positive contribution to their communities and lead independent lives.

Whether mentally, physically or socially wounded we support ex-service personnel and their families most in need. We offer personalised employment support, mental health and well-being support, and support care coordination to help veterans who are struggling after military service.

Get help from Walking With The Wounded

We operate a call-back system whereby an appropriate member of our team will do our best to get back to you within one working day.

Please note that WWTW is not an emergency service and operates during standard 9am to 5pm working hours, Monday to Friday. If you need immediate help, particularly outside of these hours, an alternative support might be better for you.

Employment Support

Our practical Employment Programme finds meaningful jobs for veterans.

At Walking With The Wounded, we understand transition into civilian life can make it hard for some ex-service personnel to find a job.

Our Employment Programme is designed to find suitable, sustainable jobs for veterans who are struggling since leaving the military. We’re here to support veterans thrive in the workplace and rebuild their lives.

Head Start

Head Start is mental health and wellbeing support for veterans.

For ex-service personnel managing mental health issues, Head Start from Walking With The Wounded provides private therapy sessions without the wait.

Support Care Coordination

Personalised and tailored support for veterans, for every part of life.

 Support Care Coordination from Walking With The Wounded, and in partnership with NHS Op COURAGE, helps ex-service personnel manage complex challenges, improve wellbeing and transform their lives. When a veteran is struggling and needs help, we’re here for them.

Op Connect

Creating new community connections in the North East, North West and Scotland.

 We know ex-service personnel can find it tough to connect after they’ve served in the military. That’s why we’ve developed Op CONNECT, giving ex-Forces personnel based in the North East, North West and Scotland the chance to meet with veterans, get active and get involved in their communities. 

 Veterans can take part in different activities throughout the year. Each activity is designed to tackle social exclusion, and support physical health, and mental health and well-being.
