Story

Dave served in Afghanistan but struggled mentally on leaving the Army. He flitted from job to job before a breakdown. He was referred to Walking With The Wounded by the NHS and our employment team supported him back into a sustainable job that made the most of his significant skills, generating tens of thousands of pounds of savings for his employer on his first project, and enabling him to support his family once more.

When EEEGR partnered with WWTW last year, EEEGR general manager Rob Bush wanted to do something stand out, that brings leaders together, gets them out of their comfort zone and raises cash for the cause. So here we are!

By stepping forward to take part in our skydive day, or donating to anyone who is, you are helping Walking With The Wounded catch those who don't transition successfully or who struggle post service with unemployment, mental health or homelessness.

The energy industry employs a huge number of ex-military already and there is the potential for many more service leavers to plug the skills gap emerging as the sector grows significantly in the coming years. So it is right that we give back and support our men and women who get caught in a downward spiral, and enable them and their families to make a positive contribution once more.

Every £86 funds a 1-2-1 mental health session for a veteran or a family member and can help save a job, relationship, home or a life. Thank you for your generosity.
