The Outcasts

We are rasing money for Walking with the Wounded to provide support to Service Personnel to transfer their skills into the civilian workplace. They offer assistance through their programmes to those vulnerable veterans who have been physically, mentally or socially disadvantaged by their service and assist them in sustaining their independence through new sustainable careers outside of the military. This includes providing support to homeless veterans and veterans in the Criminal Justice System, areas which are too often ignored.

The challenge is to walk 30km over multiple peaks in the Lake District with 1875m of ascent in under 11 hours, the route is not fully guided or marked - so we could and up anywhere!! The weather can throw anything at us, adding to the challenge.

Our targe may seem high but this is what is could be used for:

£675 is the average cost of a course of therapy sessions through our mental health programme - Head Start

£706.56 is the average cost of a for each beneficiary in our employment programme which embeds employment advisors into homeless centres - Home Straight

£800 Will support a veteran through our criminal justice programme - Project Nova

£2361 is the average award for a beneficiary going through our retraining programme - First Steps
