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.

Our Story
From our first pioneering expedition to our unique 1-2-1 services, we’ve been boldly pushing for better veteran support since 2010.

Step Up and support
Outside the forces, veterans often feel like they’ve lost their circle of support. We help show them that it’s still there and where to find it. But there’s a gap in that circle - and that’s you.
