Veterans in Crisis provide support directly for most problems brought to our attention. Having built a reputation in Sunderland for engaging with veterans, we are able to provide them with everything they need including:

• Homelessness to Housing
• Furnishing homes
• Mental Health 1-2-1 counselling (including their partners and children) BACP qualified
• Warm and Welcoming Spaces on behalf of Sunderland City Council
• Covid and Flu immunization advice
• Food Banks in 2 locations
• 24-hour fully furnished emergency apartment
• Cooking and washing facilities for veterans to use
• Warm clothing and bedding
• Help with DWP and housing form filling.
• Accelerated access to GP practices. We have a trained Armed Forces Champion in every Sunderland GP surgery.
• Socially prescribed activities
• Employment training, CV creation and interview techniques
• Sporting activities
• Free hot meals every week
• Art Therapy in partnership with Sunderland University
• Group therapy including Dog Walking and Walk and Talk
• We receive approximately 4 referrals a week. They come from GP’s and national organisations like The Royal British Legion, Walking with the Wounded, or Op Courage, all without a local presence in Sunderland.

We do signpost to other service providers that are better placed than ourselves such as Drug and Alcohol advice and Gambling advice.
