  • What services will the money I raise support?

    Walking With The Wounded provides personalised support to ex-service personnel who are struggling since leaving military service.

    As a veteran’s charity, we can help with employment, mental health, and support care coordination. We empower those who’ve served and their families to find purpose, rebuild their lives and contribute to their communities.

    We can only continue to support veterans through these services due to generous donations and people like you fundraising.
