Supporting Wounded Veterans, London (2026)

23/09/2026

The Veterans on this week's Peak District Challenge are embracing the incredible conditions and amazing climbs.

This is an ideal break away, to gain clarity and unwind, while heading out into the breath taking Peak District surrounded by a supportive group.

Adjusting to life in civvy street after service can bring a unique range of stresses and challenges, especially when service life was cut short through no fault of their own. So heading out into the hills can be just what many Veterans need, helping to de-stress, unwind and connect with other Veterans in similar situations.

For some of the Veterans this week it is their first experience of climbing, and with coaching and encouragement they are building on their confidence and skills day by day.

This trip is run alongside the supportive and experienced team at Climb2Recovery, a team who also recognise the incredible value in getting Veterans back outdoors and engaged in outdoor activities to bring a more positive focus after injury, illness and life-changing events.

With breath-taking views and incredible climbs, the Veterans have embraced the impressive landscape of the Peak District this week.

For the SWV Peak District Challenge this week a group of Veterans have headed up to this incredible area to get stuck into a range of climbs as well as hill walking through this incredible area.

This is a trip to act as a reset, and for some the start of further support after leaving service, as well as an opportunity to connect with like minded Veterans.

Thank you to SWV Veteran Ed MacKenzie for his hard work and dedication to bring this special memorial to The National Memorial Arboretum.

The Elysium Memorial was recently unveiled and is the first of its kind here in the UK. This special memorial is dedicated to Veterans and Armed Forces personnel lost to su***de.

Veteran Ed Mackenzie has been the driving force behind this important memorial, something that is very close to his heart having experienced huge loss and deep grief after losing 20 comrades, including close friends, to su***de.

We are deeply proud of Ed for all of his hard-work and dedication to bring this to fruition, providing a valuable place for those who have been lost to su***de to always be remembered.

Tomorrow we are looking forward to welcoming along a new group of Veterans ready for a week of hill walking and rock climbing here in the beautiful Peak District for our new Peak District Challenge.

We are running this trip, alongside Climb2Recovery, getting Veterans outdoors and engaging in activities, boosting both physical and mental health.

This is an opportunity to explore this incredible area, while surrounded by like minded people in a supportive environment.

For some of the group this is the first time that they have reached out for further support and the first contact with the charity, so this is an opportunity to find out about the range of extra support on offer through SWV as well as a chance to link up with other Veterans too.

The conditions are looking good for the week ahead, so we look forward to getting everyone out and making the most of this incredible landscape.

Words of a Veteran.

As a Veteran, reaching out for help can be daunting and difficult. This is even harder for those who have previously sought help via other channels and haven't received the help they needed.

We understand that reaching out and asking for help can be difficult. And the idea of getting involved with a new charity and accepting their support can feel like a big leap of faith.

But with the right support, and an understanding environment, it can be life changing.

Here at SWV there are a range of support pathways on offer, for some only a small amount of help is needed to get a Veteran back on track. But for others, longer term support is needed, with many Veterans needing access to a range of support options.

It is important that Veterans are met with understanding, in an organisation that recognises that all Veteran's needs can vary.

We continue to help Veterans through this process month after month. Once the initial support is received it doesn't stop there, there are further support options to help you back on track to a brighter future.

Chronic pain can be debilitating. It can impact every area of your life.

And managing your chronic pain in a way that enables you to work, or to take on a new career path can be incredibly challenging.

This is a huge challenge for far too many Veterans, those who have dedicated many years of their life to their military career, but who now live in civvy street with long term pain.

So you need someone who understands pain. Someone who can help you understand pain management options. And who can support you, and help you move forward and reach your full potential.

Supporting Wounded Veterans recognised the need for pain support, specifically for Veterans taking into account their very specific injuries and subsequent needs. This is why the Pain Management Pathway was started, to help Veterans manage their pain, understand their medications, access further support and rebuild a positive future.

To find out more about the SWV Pain Management Pathway, please follow the link below -

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼!

Why not secure one of the final spaces for this month's Peak District Challenge - a new opportunity especially for Veterans and new servers leavers.

From 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 the SWV Team will be heading to the Peak District for some fantastic hill walking and rock climbing, taking a group of selected Veterans to access this fantastic opportunity.

Over the course of this trip you will be heading out into the hills to explore the beautiful Peak District, a great way to start your time after service and to connect with support as a Veteran.

This is ideal for Veterans who are looking for more support and guidance after service, for those looking to connect with the Veteran community and for those who have been feeling isolated since leaving the Armed Forces.

Supported by Climb2Recovery, this opportunity is only open to 20 new service leavers or Veterans, so please get in touch to find out more.
