To provide help finding a home and essential items such as a cooker, bed etc for former soldiers sailors and airmen facing homelessness
We are a small charity formed in South Yorkshire ten years ago. Since then we have successfully helped almost 600 veterans of HM Armed Forces facing homelessness. We have worked with local councils, housing associations, private landlords to pay for rent and bonds to get a veteran into a home again. We also provide essential items such as beds, kitchen equipment to enable the veterans to look after themselves once again.
Once the veteran has settled back into a home, they can address the other issues they face such as finding work, tackling mental health issues and or addiction problems and become positive members of society once again. Our charity work has been recognised at the highest level by HM The Queen this year awarding her QUEENS AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE. This is the highest accolade any charity can receive and is testament to the dedication of our small team working for these veterans many of who have served in dangerous parts of the world on behalf of our Country.
