02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Providing recreational and social activities can help ease social isolation and loneliness, while offering non-financial support can assist with hardships. Staying connected to their past lives gives a sense of value and preserves the feeling of belonging, which is an important part of life for any ex-serviceman or ex-servicewoman. Veterans can be a tough and determined group, often viewing asking for help as a sign of ‘failure’ after being so self-reliant and strong within their ‘service family.’ This deep sense of belonging to a like-minded, similarly experienced team or crew is something we work hard to genuinely recreate.
