Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As an armed forces veteran I am only too aware of the struggles many of us both serving and former have. I have been fortunate to receive support and for me at least there is light at the end of a long dark tunnel. However I am only too aware that not all of us are so lucky and regretfully the support isn't always available  and that is why charities like this are so important.

Head Up's goal is to reduce the number of suicides within the military community, helping those in need to turn things around before their issues have the chance to become life-threatening. By creating a unique, holistic countryside retreat, we will enable guests to take a step away from military or post-military life, and learn life-skills to allow them to deal with mental health issues, and access the support they need. Seven-day residential courses will provide personalised mental-health support for serving and retired members of the Army, RAF, Navy, and Royal Marines, including all reservists.

The charity also offers a range of services including mental health and wellbeing talks to workplaces and organisations free-of-charge both military and non-military businesses (non military they ask for a donation of your choosing towards the charity) as well as one to one support focussed around forming good habits and changing mindsets.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
