10 serving members of the British Army will be completing a physical challenge to help raise funds for Battle Buddy UK. There are an estimated 6000 veterans currently homeless in the UK, therefore we'll be running 1000 miles and completing 5000 reps of various exercises between us over a week. That equates to running 14.3 miles and completing 72 repetitions of different exercises per person, per day for 7 days.
Battle Buddy UK is a community interest company (CIC) founded by veterans.
We identified a gap with the long-term support and treatment of those suffering from complex mental health problems within the veteran community. We are unique and our key differentiation is that there are few organisations who understand; and can treat the complex needs which many ex-servicemen and women present. In addition to the daily struggle that veterans face, their families are also face little to no support. This has a hugely detrimental effect on their marriages and relationships, which in turn impacts the veterans’ wellbeing. Battle Buddy was formed to combat such deficits and we are passionate about helping and assisting veterans.
Battle Buddy UK has a 24/7 helpline for veterans and their families seeking support and advice from veterans alike. We are here to make sure that you can get the help you need to rebuild your life for the better, and we’re there for you every step of the way. We are a hub for veterans to turn to when they need support there and then, and also following on from that into the future.
We are on hand 24 hours a day to help our forgotten servicemen and women when they need it the most. And not only that, because veterans can be proud souls and try to soldier on, we are also accepting calls from friends and family members who can see the signs.
we understand, because we've been through it.
