VETERANS JOURNEYS

PATHWAYS TO REBUILD

Since 2001 over 22,000 veterans have been medically discharged and many of them struggle to forge the path needed to improve or stabilise their medical condition, or give them the opportunity to find meaningful employment. Founded as Skiing with Heroes in 2012, we have since developed a needs-based, veteran-led comprehensive programme to assist the wounded. As a veteran you are able to gain help from Supporting Wounded Veterans in a number of ways.

VETERAN'S PERSONAL STORIES

Every pathway to recovery we build is an individual and personal journey. Our veterans form a strong bond with Supporting Wounded Veterans and feel included, connected, developed and respected. Below are a few of their stories, in their own words.
