Leading military charity, Walking With The Wounded (‘WWTW’), launches a new ‘Mission Green’ initiative through OP-REGEN, its core volunteering programme.

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.

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.

“I served with the Queen's Royal Hussars for 14 years, I am incredibly proud of serving my country during my time on operations and back in the UK following in my dad and grandads’ footsteps.”

“Some of the best, most interesting people I know, are those men and women who have had to overcome adversity,” said Inge Solheim, who guided Walking With The Wounded’s North and South Pole expeditions.
