V-Aid

V-Aid is a registered charity supporting people in contact with the criminal justice system, including veterans, prison leavers, probation clients and other vulnerable members of the community. Through our Food & Futures programme, we provide volunteering, skills development, mentoring, training and practical work experience.

Working alongside probation services, local authorities and frontline charities, we help people rebuild confidence, develop practical skills and gain experience through meaningful activities, including the production and distribution of emergency food parcels and humanitarian aid. Participants are supported to develop responsibility, teamwork and employability while making a positive contribution to their communities.

Alongside this, we work with a range of local partners to provide emergency food, clothing and essential items to people experiencing hardship, homelessness and crisis. We also deliver humanitarian aid projects internationally, giving participants opportunities to contribute to meaningful projects while building skills, confidence and pathways towards volunteering, education and employment.
