Veteran Support Network
The Veteran Support Network was created because we saw, time and again, that veterans open up more to fellow veterans. It's a peer support system: veterans further along in their recovery journey supporting others who are going through a difficult period on their own. Working alongside someone who has faced similar injuries gives an immediate common ground, and that shared experience lets trust and understanding build quickly — often faster than with any other form of support.
Support that's built around you
There's no fixed template for what this looks like. It's always bespoke, shaped by what you actually need — from a low-key coffee catch-up, to someone accompanying you to a hospital appointment, to support navigating a compensation claim. Whatever stage you're at, the network flexes to meet it.
A network you can call on
We've built a network of peer support veterans across the UK, which means we can respond quickly when it matters — connecting you with someone nearby, or with the right experience, without unnecessary delay.
Become part of the Veteran Support Network
Many veterans who've been through the Veteran Support Network go on to offer that same peer support to others further behind them on the journey — one of the ways SWV's support becomes long-term rather than a single point in time.
