Your Impact


Why we are walking for veterans’ mental health?

Across the UK, veterans are living with the psychological impact of their military service. Many face daily battles with PTSD that can affect their relationships, work and wellbeing. Often they are struggling in silence, unsure where to turn. When you take part in Boots on the ground or sponsor someone who does, you’re helping veterans get life-changing mental health support.

Your fundraising helps to provide:

  • Round-the-clock support from our 24-hour Helpline.
  • Specialist treatment delivered by our own expert clinicians, enabling a veteran to recover and start living again.
  • Peer support to bring veterans together to share experiences, reduce isolation and rebuild confidence.
  • Groundbreaking research into PTSD and related mental health conditions, improving treatment now and in the future.

Every mile you complete, and every pound you raise, helps veterans like Kevin get the treatment they need to move forward with their lives.
