Supporting Wounded Veterans, London (2026)

29/05/2026

The confidence that conquering a big challenge can bring is immeasurable. And that confidence, and support, is often what has been missing to help Veterans make a smooth transition into civilian life - especially when learning to live with injury and/or illness.

The Ski-habilitation Week is often the first stage of support for Veterans on the SWV support pathways. This transformative week acts as a reset, a chance to take a breath and then lean into the support on offer.

Applications are now open for next year's Ski-habilitation Week taking place from 8th - 14th March 2027, to find out more and to start your application, please follow the link below.

But the support doesn't stop there!

After a Veteran has taken part in the Ski-habilitation Week, they are linked together with their own Mentor to guide them through and help to build a brighter future out in Civvy Street.

Mentors are on hand to help support Veterans - to answer questions, to identify goals, and to tackle professional or personal barriers, leading to a more fulfilled life after service.

So if you are a Veteran looking for support, please follow the link below -

During last month's Meet Your Mentor Weekend many partners attended too. This is not only a great opportunity to meet other partners, but to also find out about the charity and different support pathways on offer.

One such pathway is the Bouncing Back programme for partners of SWV Veterans currently going through the SWV pathways themselves.

Partners are often the unsung heroes, supporting their loved ones through injury, illness and the most distressing of times and the darkest of days...and nights.

So linking in with other partners, meeting others who have an understanding of the challenges being faced, can be a hugely beneficial experience.

When dealing with injury and illness one of the main challenges can be managing pain. Pain can be limiting, draining and impact every area of life.

Many Veterans have reported that it is their pain that limits what they can do day to day, but also limits their ability to gain and maintain employment and carve a new pathway out in civvy street. This is one of the reasons that SWV started the first Veteran specific 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆.

The SWV Pain Management Pathway (PMP) looks at ways to support each individual Veteran with their own pain issues and limitations. PMP starts with a review with a Pain Consultant and leads on to ways to develop a better understanding and management of each Veteran's pain, to improve self-management, quality of life and confidence.

We'd like to say a huge thank you and well done to the hard working Year 12 students of Farfield House at Gresham's School.

Last weekend a group of their students took on an impressive fundraising challenge in aid of SWV and the charity's ongoing work to support Veterans after service.

This impressive group of students completed a 'Dusk Till Dawn' hike carrying weighted packs. With great determination and courage they completed over 30km starting at 8pm and finishing at 4.45am - raising a fantastic £1200!

Well done to all involved!

Injury and illness can feel like a big barrier to employment - so it's good to get the right guidance and support to help you find your way back onto a career pathway that suits you.

The Occupation, Training and Employment (OTE) pathway is in place for this very reason. It is important to have a pathway of support set up by people who understand that Veterans face a whole host of difficulties and obstacles due to their injuries, illnesses and challenges.

The OTE pathway helps Veterans back on track, finding a new career pathway and opening up new opportunities for employment and fulfilment.

Well done to Ski Buddy Charlie who last weekend hosted a very successful quiz night and silent auction to raise money for SWV.

It was a full house for the quiz night and everyone got fully involved involved with the amazing silent auction. Charlie had worked hard to get together lots of amazing experiences and special gifts for the auction and it was a huge success raising a fantastic £6000!

Applications for Ski Buddies for next year's Ski-habilitation Week are now open, so if you would like to learn more about this important volunteer role, please follow the link below -

We would like to say a huge thank you to 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗬𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 for their ongoing support and their recent extra generosity with an incredible grant to support the 𝗦𝗪𝗩 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆 - the first Veteran specific pain management support.

The pain management pathway is a vital route of support for Veterans as they battle with ongoing pain and limitations that this can cause. Chronic pain can impact every area of a person's life, so support and guidance is vital.

We are incredibly lucky to be supported by 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗬𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 as they provide ongoing generosity and financial grants to make sure that we can continue providing vital guidance and ongoing help for each SWV Veteran.

This year's Rivers' Forum has now come to an end. This important event was an opportunity to gather together important groups to tackle the UK's river pollution crisis, as well as creating opportunities for Veterans.

The forum is a neutral platform for range of change makers, not for profits, government bodies, tech' companies along with figures from agriculture and education to come together to find a workable solution to a growing problem.

Each year the Rivers' Forum is building momentum to tackle the river pollution problem that is impacting us all either directly or indirectly. And with each year the Rivers' Forum opens more doors and creates more opportunities for Veterans.
