Veterans Outreach Support (VOS) is hugely grateful to the Veterans’ Foundation for the grant of £30,000 that they recently awarded to us.
This grant will part-fund our clinical provision for one year, which will enable VOS to continue providing clinical support to improve the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of veterans, serving personnel and their partners.
Veterans Outreach Support is a registered charity, which means we require a certain amount of funding to be able to deliver valuable support to veterans and their partners in a variety of ways, including offering important clinical support to our service users. VOS helps veterans and current members of the Armed Forces by providing access to mental health support, which can often be crucial for veterans, serving personnel and their family members. VOS provides this support in the form of cognitive, behavioural and emotional wellbeing therapies or treatments.

One of the most significant ways in which the Veterans’ Foundation fundraises is through the Veterans’ Lottery. The money raised through the Lottery enables them to provide their own support and funding to other charities. You can now play the Veterans’ Lottery and directly support VOS when you do – read this blog to find out how!

In the box are the words "I just wanted to say a big thank you [...] for the CBT sessions that I had with [VOS]. I’ve had a lot of CBT and mental health interventions since my diagnosis in 2015 but without doubt, [these] sessions have been the best I’ve ever had. The way [...] the sessions [were delivered] over Zoom were fantastic; [the therapist] was so compassionate and just ‘got me’. [...] I was in a very dark place the day I first made contact with you but I’ve come a long way since, all thanks to [the therapist]." Below that are the words "VOS Service User, December 2021".

VOS is very grateful to the Veterans’ Foundation, as their support and funding will allow us to provide life-changing clinical mental health support to veterans, serving members of the Forces and their partners.
