The Veterans Charity was founded in March 2008 to support UK Veterans of all generations. They provide fast, direct support to Veterans across the entire UK who find themselves facing hardship and distress.

They supply essential items including food shopping, clothing, household items like kitchenware and single appliances, utilities support and even smartphones and tablets to aid vital communication.

Despite being a small charity, operating on a small budget with few overheads, since 2011, they have provided essential items to more than 5000 Veterans and given guidance and advice to hundreds more.

This year myself and Cal Calvert will be aiming to complete 10 laps of Burnhope Reservoir. This is a 26-mile walk in total and should take us around 10 hours to complete.

Cal and I are both veterans, so this is a cause close to both of our hearts. Every penny donated will go towards supporting veterans and their families at a time in need.

Your kindness will make a huge difference!
