Liverpool Veterans HQ

“We all need support to some degree and Veterans HQ and all the activities they offer give us that support. I always walk away with a feeling of relief… until next time!”

Ted – 6 years’ service, Royal Navy & Veterans HQ Buddy

“When life was at its darkest, Veterans HQ brought me back into the light”

Kate – 8 years’ service, Women’s Royal Army Corp / Adjutant General’s Corps & Veterans HQ Buddy-in-Training

“I joined the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) in 1979 and left the Forces in 2010 and seven years on, still suffer with serious PTSD. With the help of Bob, Andy & Veterans HQ, I am now so proud to be a Veteran and to help out. Without HQ, I don’t know where I’d be.”

Robbie – 32 years’ service RAOC; Royal Logistics Corps & Veterans HQ Greeter / The Water Boy

“I had a talk with Bob about helping to get homeless Veterans off the streets, for their own sakes and the Veterans HQ project was soon born. I signed up immediately and it’s not only helped other Veterans but it’s also really helped me to clear my own head.”

Ken – 12 years’ service Royal Army Medical Corps & Veterans HQ Buddy

“Veterans HQ is there for whenever Veterans need help. That is why we offer the help because it’s us Buddies and volunteers that benefit as well as our clients.”

John – 3 years’ service, Irish Guards & Veterans HQ Buddy
