No-one left behind from lockdown
Covid-19 has created a new battleground, hitting the mental health of our veterans and their families particularly hard. This Christmas help Walking With The Wounded ensure that no-one is left behind from lockdown.
The past 18-months have been tough. We have been tested to our limits and forced to isolate from our colleagues, our friends and our loved ones which has taken a huge toll on the mental health of the nation. This December, Walking With The Wounded invites people across the country to walk together to ensure that no-one is left behind from lockdown.
In 2020, our supporters came together and smashed records for Walking Home For Christmas. People up and down the country donned their Walking With The Wounded Santa hats to raise money to support those who served. In total, 3,000 Walkers helped to raise over £450,000 to support our veterans and their families.
This year we want to go one better. It is time to switch off Zoom and Teams and invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you for a walk in the great outdoors. Renew those relationships, remake your connections. Reach out in the great outdoors and help us to make this the best Walking Home For Christmas yet.
It couldn’t be easier to get involved. Sign up at www.walkinghomeforchristmas.com – you’ll get an online fundraising page created for you and be sent a branded Santa hat and fundraising pack. Then plan your walk, walk home from work, walk home from school, or somewhere important to you. Whatever the weather. Anytime between the 10th-20th December. We can’t wait to see what you come up with, a memorable adventure this Christmas whilst supporting the cause.
Every £82 raised by our supporters could fund a private therapy session for an ex-serviceman or woman to begin the process of addressing their mental health needs – with a therapist allocated within an average of just 5 working days.
