Based at the Bulldogs Boxing & Community Development Centre Port Talbot, Bulldogs Veterans supports veterans to integrate into civilian life by supporting them to make positive relationships within the community.
The Trust awarded the project £90,000 in February 2023, through our Reaching and Supporting Armed Forces Communities programme, to facilitate physical and mental health support, delivered through a multi-agency approach with NHS Veterans Wales, ChangeStep, Adferiad Recovery, SSAFA and DWP.
Project Manager Sam Fox said: “The Bulldogs has been referred to by several Armed Forces Veterans as their ‘Safe Place’. The funding received from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has and will continue to allow us to grow and to help armed forces veterans with their mental and physical wellbeing. Our onsite First Point of Contact will be able to work with individuals to help them integrate back into civvy life and signpost them, and if needed, their family members to a network of close partnership organisations to help meet their needs as well as enabling us to provide a variety of wellbeing services and social activities to the armed forces community.”
