WHAT'S NEXT?
Join Boots on the Ground for just £25, with a fundraising pledge of £250 – and be part of something truly impactful.
Just £250 could fund a Peer Support group meeting, giving veterans a safe space to connect, share, and find strength with others who understand exactly what they’re going through.
By taking part, you’re not only raising vital funds – you’re helping shine a light on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its lasting effects on those who’ve served.
Your support enables us to help more veterans tackle the past and take on their future.
Your support can be life-changing
Now more than ever, veterans rely on us and we rely on our supporters. We believe military trauma shouldn’t destroy the lives of veterans and their families. When a veteran is having a tough time, we’re there to help tackle the past and to help them take on the future. By taking part in Boots on the Ground, your fundraising efforts will make a huge difference to the lives of the former servicemen and women who turn to us for support.
