During the first phase, eight of the street’s empty property were refurbished to create three larger adapted residential homes for veterans and their families one complete with lift for its amazing new tenant , one standard size property and a veteran walk-in support and advice centre – all by the end of September.

The aim of the project was to create a veterans’ housing community within the existing community, the advice centre will have a private space for therapy and counseling – run by Walking With The Wounded – and provide a space for community use. Training and employment opportunities are being developed for veterans and existing residents.

Visit from Walking wounded

The Walking Wounded Visit the site 19th September 2015:

For me was an emotional day due to visit from the walking wounded a group of army veterans some of them amputees who are walking the country to raise money and awareness of the plight for many of our armed forces who are left with horrific injuries whether it be loss of limbs or the invisible mental issues that many have to deal with on there own while trying to integrate back into society . This same society us the public take for granted all because these veterans and those who now stand in there place put themselves in adversity every day so that our families can live the life we are accustomed to
