Walking with the Wounded

Established In 2010, Walking with the Wounded (WWTW) supports vulnerable ex-serviceman and women re-integrate back into society and sustain their independence.

The charity focuses on employability, mental health and early intervention services to provide social inclusion, independence and helping to break the cycle of veterans being a disproportionately high cohort of homeless, police custody, unemployment and mental health statistics. Walking with the Wounded's programmes all work in harmony to address persistent social problems and make lasting improvements in veterans' lives; breaking the cycle of poor outcomes by focusing on the causes of the problem rather than it's symptoms.

Salford Community Leisure can now offer free Aspire gym memberships to ex-serviceman and women who are being supported by Walking with the Wounded. To register your interest, please email social.inclusion@scll.co.uk or call 0161 778 0553.
