Valley Veterans provides support to vulnerable ex-Armed Forces members across the South Wales Valleys. We have developed stables and provide equine therapy with a horticultural area, as outside, positive, meaningful work is proven to benefit mental and physical health in a supporting environment with like-minded individuals and combats loneliness in those living alone with no family support. The site is accessible on a daily basis for members and will be expanded to include the local community. We host a weekly Breakfast Club each Thursday morning where professional assistance from the local Council and veterans agencies is available. We assist with housing, transporting our most vulnerable members to hospital or clinic appointments and collecting prescriptions. We provide a Prison Liaison Service for ex-Forces members on remand at Parc Prison, Bridgend and work closely with South Wales Police to assist those held in custody.
