The programme - UNITE as one, INSPIRE one another, BELIEVE anything is possible, supports ex serving personnel. The main aim is to rehome homeless, or those leaving the criminal justice system, by providing supported living accommodation. Healthier Heroes rehabilitate and reconnect veterans and their families regardless of whether they recently left the army or left a long time ago.
We support veterans who have left, or are still in the criminal justice system. Our lead mentor is able to draw keys at the prisons we currently work in and has attended full training around prison visitations. Using a peer mentoring programme, we help them to rebuild their lives and find jobs. With our combined lived experience and our person led approach to the programme we are striving to help veterans and their families overcome barriers that restrict aspects of their lives.
