The Ripple Pond has partnered with Walking With The Wounded (WWTW) to deliver a project in the North East of England to support ex-servicemen and women, their families and carers. For some ex-servicemen and women – those that perhaps need more significant support – the route to care can look complex and often inaccessible. The Northern Care Coordination Partnership (NCCP) is an impactful and innovative service that can be replicated across the UK.

The Veterans’ Gateway puts veterans and their families in touch with the organisations best placed to help with the information, advice and support they need – from healthcare and housing to employability, finances, personal relationships and more.

We are proud to have won a Sun 50 grant, celebrating ordinary people doing extraordinary things. We want to say thank you to wonderful members as we know it was one of you that nominated us!
