Adferiad Recovery make fantastic start in helping portfolio partners deliver veterans’ mental health support

In December it was announced that Adferiad Recovery was awarded a grant by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust to help our fantastic portfolio partners to deliver a wide variety of veterans’ mental health support services.

Adferiad’s grant will be used to co-ordinate a dynamic and co-ordinated portfolio of projects that will take an informed approach across Wales. We will ensure that there are connected pathways which work well for veterans; that there are safe places for veterans to go which connect into these pathways; and that volunteers and staff who support veterans have access to training and work closely with other organisations within veterans’ mental health pathways.

Working with our portfolio of 11 partners working nationally in Wales, as well as other local third sector military charities, we have made some excellent progress so far following a very successful webinar with partners last week.

Through the funds given to us by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, we’re excited to continue to support our charity partners and through regular correspondence we will be harnessing and sharing best practice amongst each other in the network to truly develop the most effective mental health services for veterans.

We’d like to say a massive thank you to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust and everyone involved in this exciting partnership for their collaboration so far. We look forward to continue to working with you all!

• Woody’s Lodge
