  • Veteran's Charity Supporting Wounded Veterans

    John's Story Read their story I joined the Army at the tender age of 16 back in September of 2003, I went to the Army Foundation College with little or no understanding of what to expect. I finally joined my battalion - The King's Regiment at Catterick Garrison in 2004. My first tour of active duty was Operation Telic 9 - Iraq, in the city of Basrah. The tour was non stop, from the moment we landed to the moment we left it was contact after contact. I lost a lot of colleagues on that tour, two of which I was very close too, I don't think even to this day I've mourned them properly, I suppose it's my way of dealing with things (coping mechanism). After the tour I realised I wasn't the same person who left 7 months previously, I found myself becoming restless, struggling with flash backs, nightmares and night terrors. I started to drink more than I ever had and fighting whenever the opportunity arose. I kept myself busy I completed my JNCO Cadre, found myself being posted to the recruiting team, whilst there I passed Junior Brecon and was sent back to battalion before another tour of Herrick in 2013. Herrick was a lot easier of a tour. We had sticky situations of course but no where near as bad as Telic 9, again I found myself volunteering to do other stuff - ie train medics or work alongside Americans, booking courses so I could plan and keep busy. It wasn't really until 2016 when I had literally done every course available and been on countless exercises, Kenya, Belize and so on that my wife said enough is enough - you either get help or we split up. I understood I had changed, I had ruined so many relationships through drinking, fighting, isolating myself or letting people down too many times. I made the decision to speak with the Medical Officer and broke down. I felt a huge burden lift from my shoulders that day, I was sent home for a month, I returned to meet the MO and given a few options, soldier on, move corps or look at leaving the Army. I was medically discharged in 2017. It wasn't until I was on a course in Tedworth House (H4H) that I learnt about Supporting Wounded Veterans, I had been skiing a few times with my wife but never with a group of like-minded Veterans who all had different injuries. I was unemployed at the time, finding a job was difficult, so I applied, half expecting to be told better luck next time, expecting it to be like most charities, unless you know someone there you don't normally get a place. This time round I did and was asked to do a Skype call with the committee members. I got a place on the 2017 Ski Week in the most amazing surroundings you will ever see in Klosters, Switzerland. The Ski Week itself was one of the best weeks of my life. The fresh air, the amazing ski runs, being surrounded by Veterans with similar issues, the Buddies, the committee and board members, I loved every minute of it, and returned home motivated and up for looking for work. SWV suggested that I make use of my contacts, I did and ended up with a job at JLR moving on to the DHL supply chain, (I introduced SWV to my contact and that has helped a couple of other Vets get work). I applied to be on the Vet's Help Desk for the following year of 2018. Again I was very lucky and blessed to be selected, I love nothing more than helping people, even more so if they're Veterans, so it was a no brainer when given the opportunity to come back and experience it from a different angle. My partner in crime on the help desk that week has created a friendship which to this day is very strong. We communicate weekly whether it be about Liverpool or Chelsea, or even just to have a moan about stuff! The chance to be part of a week away on the slopes of Klosters is priceless and the relationships you create are second to none. Since then, in 2021 I left my role at JLR / DHL after 5 years of learning how to adapt to civi street and how such businesses work and operate on a daily basis. Covid wasn't kind to the motor manufacturing industry and I found myself feeling very confused and low as the environment become very toxic. I left to take over as a warehouse manager of Meyer Ltd. This was a step up as it's more of a Senior Manager's role, but I've found my military experience and time in JLR / DHL has allowed me to settle in to the new role without any hiccups. Previous Next

  • Winter Conference & Challenge | SWV

    SWV Winter Conference & Challenge Thursday 9th - Sunday 12th March 2023 Winter Conference Thursday 9th March 2023 Silvretta Park Hotel, Landstrasse 190, 7250 Klosters Platz 14:00 Global political risk – who are our friends and foes now? How is this changing our strategies and economies? A panel led discussion lead by Manveen Rana 16:00 The Weaponisation of Energy. Is green energy really green? How does this affect the move to net zero? Dr Chris Walters , Michael Brennan, Michael Liebreich Friday 10th March 2023 Aula Room, Schule Klosters Platz, Bahnhofstrasse, Klosters 18:00 Nick Carter – What now for the Ukraine, Russia and the West? Nick Carter in conversation with Manveen Rana Followed by Q&A ​ ​ For more information or to book please contact us ​ Ski Challenge The SUPPORTING WOUNDED VETERANS SKI CHALLENGE is another innovative and exciting way in which we support the rehabilitation of medically discharged veterans back into employment. We do this with a fun, adrenaline-fuelled weekend in Switzerland that gives our veterans an unparalleled opportunity to meet members of the business community, understand more about the corporate world and exchange experiences. The weekend is also a critical part of our annual fundraising. The event is organised and managed by a team of Vet Reps who are veterans who have benefited from SWV programs and volunteer their time to benefit SWV. During the Ski Challenge participants compete with and against our veterans; the challenge is designed to ensure that able-bodied and disabled skiers compete on equal terms. You do not have to be of, or anywhere near, Olympic standard to take part! On the other hand, don’t think for a second that, just because a veteran uses adaptive ski techniques, they will be easy to beat. The long weekend involves outstanding hospitality. There will be exhilarating skiing events such as The Giant Slalom, and The Marathon Challenge (more below) but perhaps equally important, there will be the opportunity to listen and relate stories and experiences. Finally, the chance to end the week on a high with time to ski at your leisure. The programmes run by SWV are made possible through our amazing sponsors and individuals who take part in fundraisers. The Ski Challenge enables SWV to offer a unique programme of support. The success of the event speaks for itself; in 2020, 91% of veterans who engaged with the charity’s events are either in occupation, training or employment. Some decided they needed more clinical treatment before returning to work. The Ski Challenge makes this possible. The Ski Challenge is made up of two days of competitive skiing leading to the crowning of the Ski Challenge champions at a Gala dinner on Saturday night. An Inspiring Experience During the three days, inspiring, motivational and inspiring stories and experiences will be shared by veterans and members of SWV. It is also an excellent way to learn about new ways to support the charity or to become a mentor to a veteran. In addition to supporting SWV, the Ski challenge is an excellent workplace retreat and networking opportunity because of the wide range of challengers from all over the UK and world. ​ What is in it for you and your business or organisation? The Ski Challenge offers a fantastic opportunity for people to explore their own boundaries by interacting with people who have stretched theirs, sometimes overstretched them to their own detriment in the service of their country. The Ski Challenge is a fun event that allows the business community and individuals to contribute to the work that SWV does. Combined with the SWV Conference the event ticks many business objectives, such as team building, personal development, decision making and horizon-broadening. Everyone may not be declared a winner but certainly everyone benefits in one way or another. When you plan your next top team away day, consider how many goals you will meet and then think about joining us in Klosters.

  • Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund grants £10,000 to SWV programmes Read the Latest news 28 June 2021 SWV is delighted with new £10,000 grant to support employment and mentoring pathways Since 1803 Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund has brought together the Lloyd’s insurance market to support veterans and their families with the current strategic focus on supporting causes that enable veterans to make a positive transition to civilian life. Aware of the impact that the pandemic has had on the charity sector, and especially on veterans and the charities that support them, Lloyds Patriotic Fund invited charities supporting the military community to apply for grants of up to £10,000. Following a successful application, we are proud and grateful to announce that Supporting Wounded Veterans has received a £10,000 grant from the Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund. The grant will be used to support two of our Veteran Pathways programmes and the activity they undertake. Our Mentoring programme pairs veterans with trained mentors who provide help with professional and business matters, and with personal challenges. They assist in identifying goals, and tackling professional or personal barriers. Our Occupation, Training and Employment programmes works with veterans and assists them in finding meaningful employment and occupations. The programme enables veterans to works with one of our professional contractors on tailor-made job matching as well as giving assistance with writing CVs, interview techniques and arranging contracts. Together, we work at finding an occupation that suits an individual’s specific needs and skillset. Gilly Norton , Chief Executive of Supporting Wounded Veterans, said: “We are very grateful to the Lloyd's Patriotic Fund for recognising the importance of mentoring and employment support to wounded veterans. This new grant will help us to continue to support former servicemen and women who want to regain their independence after leaving service.” Previous Next

  • SWV Veteran Ambassador Board Read the Latest news 1 November 2021 The SWV Veteran Ambassador Board welcomes new members SWV is delighted to announce three new veterans who have joined its Veteran Ambassador Board. The Board is a voluntary group of veterans who have participated in SWV programmes and now advise the charity on trends, challenges, and perspectives from the wounded veteran community. All Board members have experienced leaving military service and due to injury or illness understand the barriers that exist to be able to successfully transition to civilian life, while managing good physical and psychological health. Created in 2016, the Board meets twice per year and has 22 members, with a further five in associate ambassador roles. The Board’s experience is drawn from across the armed forces community, including Royal Navy and Royal Marines, British Army and Royal Air Force. Members also provide peer support and advice to new veterans joining SWV programmes to help them maximise the opportunities across Sports Habilitation, pain management and improved mental health. Veterans, Tracy Wood, Trish Lawson and Stephan Van Niekerk were invited to join at the Board’s October 2021 meeting. SWV Ambassador, Martin Hewitt who chairs the VAB said: “I’m delighted to welcome Tracy, Trish and Stephan to the Veteran Ambassador Board. The VAB is a valuable, collegiate advisor to the team to ensure SWV’s support meets the needs of veterans and stays close to the challenges they face in civilian life. The SWV VAB works with the charities committee and trustees to help shape the design of new support programmes and frequently reviews the performance standards of existing services.” Gilly Norton, CEO and Founder of Supporting Wounded Veterans said: “We always wanted to make sure that veterans’ experiences steer and shape the programmes to best meet their needs.

  • MDMA-assisted therapy | Supporting Wounded Veterans

    MDMA Assisted Therapy Veteran Enquiry Information For The Open Label Phase II Feasibility Study Of Manualised MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy In Veterans With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ​ ​ ​ Supporting Wounded Veterans (SWV) has been working in conjunction with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and NHS England to bring the first MDMA-assisted therapy in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) clinical trial to the UK. ​ For information on SWV's Pioneer fund and for interviews with clinicians please click here The clinical trial will be conducted and delivered by expert clinicians and researchers at the IoPPN, King’s College London. ​ This new clinical trial builds on many years of research in the US, led by MAPS. This webpage outlines how to enquire about being a participant in the trial, including information regarding the enrolment process provided by MAPS & King’s College London below. Please read all of this information before submitting your contact details. ​ The roles and responsibilities of SWV in the MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD trials is to a) provide fundraising and advocacy and b) confirm veterans' proof of service for King's College London. This is explained in more detail below. ​ Entry Process for Veterans Read through this introductory information Complete the contact details form and submit your proof of service documents SWV will check and verify your veteran status If verified as a veteran, SWV will send your name and email address to the clinical trials team at King's College London The King's College London team will contact you to inform you of the enrolment and screening process Fundraising and Advocacy SWV is a charity which supports UK veterans who have been medically discharged or have been wounded, are ill or injured, physically and/or psychologically. It has been leading a £1.5m fundraising appeal to fund European clinical trials that will enrol UK veterans to research a new treatment for at least moderate PTSD. Through its programmes for veterans with physical and psychological injuries, it understands that PTSD is a huge barrier for veterans wishing to transition successfully to civilian life. SWV is supporting this new clinical trial to explore whether this treatment option is more effective than existing treatment options. Veteran's Proof Of Service SWV is supporting King’s College London by sharing the details of this project within the veteran community to ensure all those who apply are former servicemen and women. Please only enquire and share your contact details with us if you can provide your proof of service as a former member of the British armed forces and are a veteran. Veterans are defined as anyone who has served for at least one day in Her Majesty's Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) or Merchant Mariners who have seen duty on legally defined military operations. Please note , SWV is not part of the enrolment or screening process and will not have any involvement in the trial participant selection, or in any part of the trials. This will be managed directly and solely by the clinical team at King’s College London and the Sponsor of the trials, MAPS. You can express an interest in this research trial by submitting your details and providing the consents set out in the form below. Once SWV has successfully verified your veteran status, then when the trials open for participant enrolment, SWV will send your name and email address directly to the clinical team at King’s College London. Helping you to manage expectations of the clinical trial process - Data generated by a series of international clinical trials suggests that MDMA-assisted therapy may have significant therapeutic utility in the treatment of PTSD that is unresponsive to conventional treatments. However, it is important to note that this is an experimental treatment that is still very much under clinical investigation and that the effectiveness of the treatment has yet to be established. Furthermore, as it is a trial that must comply with strict regulatory safety guidelines dictated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), a narrow inclusion criterion will be applied. As such, it is likely that a significant proportion of applicants may be excluded from participating in the study. This will be determined by the clinical team at King’s College London via a series of assessments. This is a complex and demanding clinical trial which requires participants to travel to KCL in south London on several occasions over the course of the trial, it is important to consider the feasibility of this travel for you before applying below. In addition, it is important to note that outcomes may vary for those enrolled in the study and there is no guarantee that you will benefit from taking part in this research study. We encourage applicants to not consider the study to be the ultimate solution for their PTSD; it may help facilitate a meaningful psychological process, and participants in the study may require further treatment after completing the study. ​ SWV V eterans' Pathways SWV supports former servicemen and women who have physical or psychological injuries with opportunities and activities to regain their independence. It does not provide clinical treatment options for the treatment of PTSD as there are many organisations within the healthcare and voluntary sector who are equipped to do this. To support the clinical trials, SWV is working with Op Courage, the Veterans Trauma Network and other military charities to signpost to further support for those who do not meet the eligibility criteria for the trials; those who have not benefitted from participating in the trial; and/or those who benefitted from their participation but are in need of additional mental health support. ​ ​ SWV's Vision For The Future SWV is committed to securing the funds and a wide range of support from across the military and healthcare sectors for the research to take place and for the development of novel, safe and effective treatments for veterans suffering from complex physical and/or mental ill health. SWV is hopeful that the treatment will prove to be safe and effective, and if so, that it will eventually be approved and licensed as a treatment for at least moderate PTSD. If you would like to be kept informed about the enrolment process to join this clinical trial when it is open to applicants, please complete the enquiry form below. ​ If you have any questions about how to express your interest in this clinical trial please contact: Martin Beaney, SWV Veteran Coordinator - martinb@supportingwoundedveterans.com
