Of note, our Veterans’ Mental Health
Referral Programme has been especially
successful. This agile and flexible
model of delivering psychotherapy
is proving to be extremely successful
across the Corps Family.
26 veterans with wide-ranging
psychological and physical challenges
benefited from the Winter Chamonix
experience, and a further 12 from
the summer-piloted event.
Two grants totalling £141,000 were
also disseminated to the Charity
by RNRMC on behalf of the Armed
Forces Covenant Fund Trust’s
Afghanistan Veterans’ Fund, at the
request of The Office for Veterans’
Affairs. Alongside supporting other
initiatives, part of this will be used to
ensure that respite breaks continue
through 2023, helping improve the
wellbeing, resilience and promote
good mental health of veterans who
have served in Afghanistan and other
recent conflicts, and their families.
The relationship with
RNRMC is enormously
beneficial in the Charity’s
delivery of lifelong health
and wellbeing support to
the Corps Family.

In 2022, we also extended our
Chamonix Ski trip to two weeks,
supporting twice the amount
of attendees following previous
positive feedback. We also piloted
a summer event in Chamonix in
partnership with Climb2Recovery.
