Walking With The Wounded’s (‘WWTW’) latest expedition, The Grenadier Walk of Oman, reimagined in the UK, of which The Duke of Sussex is the Expedition Patron –has reached the finish line in London.

They have made it! The Grenadier Walk of Oman team has reached the official finish line at The Anglo Omani Society in London.

The NHS is the principal partner of Walking With The Wounded and our team works closely with NHS teams across the country to support with the delivery of mental health, employment and care coordination programmes for those who served and their family members.

When you join the Armed Forces, you join a close, tight-knit community and when ex-service personnel leave their career in the Armed Forces, often, the thing they cite as missing the most is the sense of camaraderie and brotherhood.

Today, Colonel Lucy Giles, joins The Grenadier Walk of Oman team as they walk through Maidenhead to Windsor Castle.

The Invictus Games is a key partner of The Grenadier Walk of Oman expedition. It was established by Walking With The Wounded’s Expedition Patron, The Duke of Sussex, in 2014 after he watched the Warrior Games in the USA in 2013.

As the Grenadier Walk of Oman continue their incredible journey across the green hills in the UK, the landscape around them is a far cry from vast desert plains in Oman.

The Armed Forces serve and protect our country; however, their support does not stop at the battlefield- Armed Forces personnel also play a vital role in supporting wider society.

The Walk of Oman, delayed twice by Covid and reimagined in the UK, is the embodiment of our mantra of ‘adapt and overcome’.

A career in the Armed Forces provides a job, financial security, a home, and a friendship group and, for some, the transition from the Armed Forces to civvy street can be stressful.
