Care After Combat is a veterans charity providing support to those within the Criminal Justice System. On notification of a veteran in custody, CAC will make contact with the individual and, if in a prison we have full access to, will interview them on a face to face basis and identify their needs and requirements. This may range from practical support in obtaining training for employment, signposting for accommodation or finance or substance misuse liaison to complex mental health support. With our links to NHS England, mental health support is provided to those directly affected by service related trauma. Support is offered from point of sentence until release and then up to a year post release through a volunteer mentor scheme. Whilst in custody, veterans will be invited to attend monthly group forums which are held to promote community but also have a psycho-educational  direction to assist in addressing offending behaviour. These forums take place within the prisons and may also just be used as a good get together over a cup of tea and a biscuit. This provides a sense of wellbeing and camaraderie. Additional to the full service, we also offer a remote service whereby veterans are supported through letter and phone. All veterans who sign up to the service whilst in custody are entitled to receive a wellbeing pack, which was developed during COVID and has continued. This contains fact based articles, puzzles, jokes, advice, exercises and letters from others. It has been proven to greatly improve the MH of veterans within custody. We currently operate in over 70 prisons across England and Wales providing both full and remote services.. Over the entire prison system we support upwards of 500 veterans at any one time.

We offer an advice and information service – this ranges from providing a brew/wet/tea, to the correct phone number for a service or assisting a family with the burial of a Veteran.

We also have a ‘hot-desk’ this is for other agencies to use in-conjunction with our users or their own, as an example one organisation running a monthly clinic is the DWP (Veteran team) They offer advice and guidance on benefits, pensions often helping the Veteran or family member obtain financial assistance they otherwise would not know of.

We have a Veteran specific NHS Nurse, she is here to talk over mental health problems and support people at all stages of their journey, all done in a friendly informal but professional manner.

We pride ourselves with being able to ‘join the dots’ and take out as much of the red tape as possible.

Being Veteran run, we have a wide range of shared experience and understanding. Hopefully making the journey as smooth as possible, in which ever direction they are travelling.

At the moment we are a drop-in centre for Veterans to grab a coffee and be around like-minded people, with our close connection with 4 local Veteran charities we have been able to get Veterans the right help when needed just by opening up over a coffee.

We are in the process of getting planning permission to build a bigger workshop which will have far more facilities to look after veterans and train them in mechanical engineering getting them NVQs.

We will also house an on-site mental health nurse so veterans in their hour of need can get immediate help.

The new facility has so much potential for further help for veterans and we believe this will be the first of its like in the UK

We Offer a bottomless brew that you can make a donation if you can afford to or  if times are tight, simply grab a brew and crack on. we have no formal membership forms but you will be expected to have a connection to the military in a significant way. https://www.littlehamptonafvbc.org.uk/about/

Welfare – “Firmis Firmamentum” support without prejudice. In addition to the breakfast and banter we operate theLiVeS project as our welfare arm provided by our armed forces champions (trained by the NHS armed ForcesNetwork) and community connectors project volunteers (advice on health & wellbeing). You can get in touch at anytime or speak to any of the admin team during a club meeting to advise us of a personal welfare need or as an advocate for another veteran/ member of the military family. We make one promise which is to “try and help”, if we are unable to help, we will do our best to signpost to a relevant organisation that can. Our welfare support is available to all members of the military family and not exclusively for club members. We have created links with multiple service charities, and we have forged a trusted relationship with the local authorities working together with their armed forces champions to ensure veterans needs are addressed and any veteran that comes to the attention of the local authority will also be signposted to us for peer-to-peer support. We also are the founding member of The Southern Veterans Hubs WhatsApp group which is an ever-growing informal network of representatives from other veterans’ groups and professionals across the region where we can get advice or assistance at moment’s notice to ensure no one falls between the cracks. “Collaboration not Competition” is central to our ability to get the job done.

Phoenix Heroes CIC build communities, we run our own Veteran Carp Angling Club (VCAC) and hold fishing events around the UK on a monthly basis, we use the fisheries as our meet-up hubs and our beneficiaries come from all parts of the UK.  We have a team of Regional Coordinators that cover most counties and they bring our local beneficiaries together within their own areas and arrange regular fishing days/nights.  All of our beneficiaries are given the option to travel to join us to fish some of the best fisheries in the UK and we are aligned with some very good fisheries in France too.

Under our Tackle 4 Heroes project of which has now gone national, we are able to kit out our veterans with free fishing equipment so they can come and join us on our fishing events, we look after the families too.  We are one of the fastest growing active veteran organisations in the UK under our VCAC initiative and receiving some fantastic support from within the fishing industry.  Within our community, our beneficiaries can access the other services that we provide outside of fishing/community building from employment networking and mental health support.

To become the number one charity in the UK for veterans wishing to enter employment in the construction and STEM industries.

In partnership with The Royal Foundation, The Armed Forces Covenant Fund and tier one Construction Companies, we are developing a pathway for veterans, focused around a two-week, online course, regardless of previous experience, to acquire suitable skills in preparation for a career in the civilian construction industry. We will then assist them to secure an interview, work trial or site visit with one of our strategic partners in the industry.

We are using our networks of influence to change the way things are done.

We use the sport of dragonboat racing to support the rehabilitation and the improved quality of life of veterans with a physical, neurological or psychological impairment (inclusive of PTSD) which does not need to be caused by their service. This provides a unique experience through training days and events which are held at various locations around the country, as well as offering a fun, safe community which can be accessed on a continuous basis through social forums in between monthly dates. This also offers up opportunity to become involved in your local dragonboat club and paddling for Great Britain! We can also help with travel costs to access our activity if required once you are registered.

We have had incredibly positive feedback from those we support around improvements in many aspects of their lives, but most prominently around health and great friendships.

Families are extremely welcome to come along as well as unimpaired veterans, and supporters which can spectate or for a small annual donation to the charity, participate in activity.

Description

We provide specialist one to one intervention coaching for free to any veteran or close family member throughout the UK and overseas. Coaching is limitless. Being non-clinical we do not assess, diagnose or provide any form of opinion on a clients MH. The client is offered one session only and then has to ask for more directly with the coach. The client decides when to stop. Each client is coached to change the meaning they are making of events or the future in order to change the feeling. The work is content free so there is no requirement to relive trauma.
Sessions last a minimum of one hour on video or 2 face-to-face. Video work allows us to reach a veteran or a family member anywhere in the UK or the world.
The client is coached to independence and to become their own coach.

Description

Our model is based upon co-operation with other existing service charities both in London and beyond where we might enhance the support offer to service veterans. We currently hold a monthly ‘Gateway’ event aimed at attracting Service Veterans, including Merchant Navy of state pensionable age from the Greater London area. Each event has a theme aimed at the older cohort of veterans but which may be attended by others outside the target group. We have begun to establish a database of older veterans who might benefit from being invited to join activities routinely enjoyed by residents of the RHC, ie: – Chelsea Pensioners.

Our expansion plans are focused on collaboration with other service charities nationwide as well as the NHS for which association with the RHC brand might be of benefit.

The Centre is over two floors with the first floor consisting of a “1940” style café. This is for use by the community, veterans and Emergency Workers to use. Its focus is to promote the interaction of Veterans in the community and assist with mental health and well-being.

Upstairs is phase two and the next project. This will consist of a large meeting/focus room which can be used by agencies. There will also be a therapist / counselling room for one to one or group activities for veterans and EW. The vision is for the centre to be a first contact point for a veteran/EW in need of assistance. With a committee of local and national agencies at hand, the service user will get the help and guidance required.

A business plan has just been submitted to expand to the unit next door to give a wider service to veterans/community and EW.

Description

Women veterans in the United Kingdom are an invisible, marginalised and frequently ignored population within the veteran community. Salute Her UK is a strong voice advocating for a holistic, compassionate continuum of services, treatment and care for our women veterans, families, care givers and care providers.
Salute Her UK works to improve the lives of UK women veterans by addressing the distinct and intersectional needs of women veterans. We highlight the unique and often unrecognised challenges facing women veterans both during and after service. For example, issues regarding gender, age, social class, race, disability and sexual orientation.
Salute Her UK is the only trauma informed, tri service, gender specific trauma hub in the UK.
MISSION STATEMENT
We want to provide a bespoke service to all women who have served in the Armed Forces by focusing on the physical, emotional and social and spirtual aspects of life while advocating, empowering, and educating women on their path to a life full of meaning and growth.
VISION
To empower women veterans and provide them with the tools they need to live successful meaningful lives filled with passion, purpose, prosperity and the opportunity to be of service to others.

The Hub is a key place for veterans and their families to come to in times of crisis and tough times. In addition to this, we hope the Hub will become a staging post to other services, as well as offering drop in clinics and advice services from the mainstream charities and local government services. The Veterans Hub, above all things, will bring together veterans within the local community in order that none of them ever feel left behind or forgotten about.

We meet on the last Wednesday of the month – and the Hub is growing from to strength with a few Vets becoming regulars. In addition to our coffee mornings we give our Vets free tickets to attend our league matches – a scheme that has benefitted several Vets that now look forward to weekends and the opportunity to watch football matches in a safe and fun atmosphere.

Shropshire Armed Forces Outreach provides wraparound support for our veteran community in the local authority and beyond. We provide information, advice and guidance working with a number of the service charities to ensure that the veterans and their families are offered the help and support they deserve. This can be as simple as them attending the various outreach locations for company, to providing support with housing, benefits, physical and mental health, and employment.
We also work with a number of the local agencies who regularly refer veterans to the outreach for additional support. Many of these agencies have signed the Armed Forces Covenant to pledge their support to the military community.

The SMART Veterans Programme has used the four key points of SMART Recovery and adapted these to suit the needs for veterans with an addictive or compulsive behaviour.

Research documents that an alarming number of veterans returning from military deployment and combat suffer from addiction. The traumatic experiences encountered on the battlefield can overwhelm coping skills and cause mental health conditions. Many veterans will self-medicate with alcohol and substances or engage in risky behaviours that can compound problems.
