Step Together Volunteering supports the Armed Forces Community across the UK, through non time-bound 1-1 support, coaching, and volunteering placements. In the North-West of England, we are currently operating a new programme for this year, specifically to reach out to veterans who maybe facing difficult circumstances to let them know of the support available to them. We are recruiting a bank of volunteers who have lived experience of the Armed Forces to help reach veterans and provide this support. This programme is part of the Thrive Together Partnership, funded by Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.
Supported by a dedicated Volunteer Coordinator, the volunteers will also work with organisations that engage with or provide support to veterans, to help raise awareness of the barriers that veterans may face when accessing support and work to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help.
We are recruiting for volunteers across the North West with lived experience of the Armed Forces. If you would like to find out more or have a chat about this role, please contact Sally, our Volunteer Coordinator, on the email provided.
