Story

Head Up, is a full not for profit, UK Armed Forces Charity. Our mission is to stem the suicide rate and to improve the quality of lives within the Armed Forces community. We do this by educating and encouraging individuals to implement positive mindset methods into their daily routine. We give a deeper understanding and awareness on subjects such as Nutrition, Physical Activity, Sleep, Breathing Techniques, Understanding of Hormones, Animal Therapy, Music Therapy, Morning and Evening Routines, and much more. We conduct One-on-One Help, Wellness Presentations Wellness Days, Wellness Fairs & Events, Mini Retreats, and we are in the development of a 7-day Residential Retreat. Head Up requires no medical evaluation or doctors’ notes, we are here for everyone, no matter their mindset. Everything we do is completely free of charge. Anyone who has served or is still serving within the Army, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, and Royal Marines, including all Reservists, are entitled to benefit from our services.

Many service personnel don't reach out during times of crisis due to a stigma around being diagnosed with a mental-health condition. Head Ups vision allows them to come forward without scrutiny, enabling them to get the right help, at the right time, without barriers consequently saving lives and promoting a better future for our Forces community."
