Who are Walking With The Wounded?

Established in 2010, Walking With The Wounded ‘WWTW’ is a leading military charity which recognises that those who served, deserve.

Whether mentally wounded, socially wounded or physically wounded, they deserve the care, support and means they and their families need to function in society, serving in the communities in which they live, reigniting their sense of purpose and making a positive contribution again.

Walking With The Wounded gets those who’ve served – and their families – back on their feet. They do three things: employment, mental health and care coordination which are saving jobs, homes, relationships and lives for the veterans who are struggling since leaving the military.

PAASE & Walking With The Wounded

We are thrilled to announce that we have become an official corporate sponsor for Walking With the Wounded. We are honoured to be able to support such an important organisation that provides vital assistance to wounded veterans and their families.

Walking With the Wounded’s dedication to empowering veterans to regain their independence and re-integrate into society aligns with our values, and we are excited to work together to make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country. We look forward to building a strong partnership with Walking With the Wounded and making a positive impact on the community.

“A most exciting 10 months developing the relationship with PAASE and clearly after following up with further meetings, 2023 looks really healthy with events already in the diary.

For me being actively involved in both the Golf Day and Walking Home for Christmas, sharing the work we do, with staff and guests, and watching their reactions, confirmed many things about PAASE. They are keen to support Veterans and their families within the region. I’m eternally grateful for this, as a veteran, myself.” David Beer, Walking With The Wounded.

Small steps, big differences

Small Steps Big Differences demonstrates how small contributions can unlock the biggest differences

Be it a £30 pair of work boots to enable a veteran to start employment, a £7.50 bus pass so they can attend an interview, or £20 for a veteran to buy his young daughter a birthday present to stem suicidal thoughts for, in his words, ‘failing as a father’.

Walking With The Wounded’s expert staff generate job opportunities, deliver access to immediate mental health care and support veterans and their families to get back on their feet – but it is their Quick Relief Fund that is often the tipping point for success. The little things making the big differences that help crystallise their work.

• £16 to buy two Airfix models so a veteran could take his mind off negative thoughts
• £25 for an online CSCS card training to enable work in the construction industry
• Our team’s ability to buy a pair of smart shoes for an interview, £35
• A SIM card to facilitate access to legal advice, £25
• A new birth certificate, £14, to get ID to apply for jobs
• Colouring pencils, £15, to help with mindfulness and mental health
• Emergency short-term hotel accommodation, £200, for a veteran sleeping in a car, enables them to transform lives
