The Veterans Charity provides support to Veterans of the UK Armed Forces. The recipient of our support must be a Veteran of the UK Armed Forces who has completed a minimum of 6 months verifiable service, either as a regular or as a reservist. Verification of service will be required in order to obtain support.
Our specialist treatment and support is available online and in-person. Our staff are based across the UK – we have teams in Belfast, Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Surrey, the Midlands and the North West. The vast majority of our services are provided online (as it removes geographical and logistical barriers to receiving treatment). Where required, our online provision is complemented by in-person outpatient appointments and community services including peer support, and treatment on a residential basis.
