The programme - UNITE as one, INSPIRE one another, BELIEVE anything is possible, supports ex serving personnel. The main aim is to rehome homeless, or those leaving the criminal justice system, by providing supported living accommodation. Healthier Heroes rehabilitate and reconnect veterans and their families regardless of whether they recently left the army or left a long time ago.

We support veterans who have left, or are still in the criminal justice system. Our lead mentor is able to draw keys at the prisons we currently work in and has attended full training around prison visitations. Using a peer mentoring programme, we help them to rebuild their lives and find jobs. With our combined lived experience and our person led approach to the programme we are striving to help veterans and their families overcome barriers that restrict aspects of their lives.

• Building platforms to bring their creative work and life experience to a public audience

We provide talks and workshops in prisons and YOIs using lived experience to help those in prison build confidence and self-esteem and thereby develop fulfilling and productive lives on the outside.

We believe that giving people opportunities to regularly train and play rugby can inspire and empower individuals to realise their full potential, directly improving participants’ health, discipline, communication skills and self-respect.

We believe participation in grassroots rugby can also be a catalyst for people experiencing homelessness to engage more effectively with wider support services related to health, education, training and employment.

We believe that by creating this opportunity, we can help enable some of the most vulnerable people in society transform their life through rugby.

We provide a range of services and projects which prevent homelessness and promote independence. We work with offenders in prison as well as with their families in the community. We also run an accomodation gateway and mentoring scheme for offenders in the community.
