Veterans In Need

www.VeteransInNeed.org.uk


VeteransInNeed.org.uk is recognised as the foremost resource platform for veterans and their families throughout the United Kingdom. This extensive website also extends support to active members of the Armed Forces and provides services to communities and businesses across the nation.


Established in August 2016, this comprehensive platform offers a wide array of information, support, and services specifically designed to address the unique needs of military veterans and their families. Additionally, it serves as a professional venue for businesses to promote their offerings, with a particular emphasis on the military community.


Veterans In Need supplies essential resources that deliver guidance, support, and opportunities for individuals within the veteran community. These resources are intended to assist in navigating the myriad challenges faced by veterans and their families in contemporary society.


We invite you to support our nation's veterans and their families by contributing to our fundraising account. The funds will support managing and hosting the Veterans In Need Resource website to help those experiencing financial difficulties. Furthermore, donations will be made to charities that support and benefit members of the Armed Forces community.


To join the Veterans In Need Facebook Group, it is necessary to respond to all questions presented by the group. Additionally, applicants must agree to the group rules; noncompliance will result in the automatic denial of the application.

Veterans In Need is committed to connecting military community members with the right resources available...

We have witnessed a significant increase in demand for help & assistance from both veterans, and their families, especially following the closure of the Government's "Veterans Gateway" platform. In response, we are seeking to recruit more volunteers to support this growing need on our website and social media platforms...


Our dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to ensure that the information on the website is both current and accurate. If you come across any information that you believe is incorrect or outdated, please help us and others by letting us know through the Contact Us page...

Thank you!

Veterans In Need.org.uk does NOT engage in the collection of funds or products through pop-up stands, supermarkets, or food banks. Should you encounter individuals claiming to represent Veterans In Need in these environments, it is imperative to request their photographic identification card and certificate of registration from Companies House. If such individuals are unable to provide this information, do not offer them any assistance and report the matter to the authorities at your earliest convenience.


Regrettably, there are instances where individuals misrepresent themselves as fundraisers or service providers for veterans without being legitimate. To mitigate the occurrence of such fraud, it is crucial to request proper identification and to verify claims with the relevant regulatory bodies.


Genuine fundraisers will be willing to present their identification and will consistently display an Identification Pass.

Housing & Accommodation


No one should be homeless in today's society, especially veterans or those from any of our emergency services who have served this country...



Since our establishment in 2016, Veterans In Need has been committed to the goal of eliminating homelessness among veterans and their families. Our website functions as a comprehensive resource, providing essential information and guidance to assist individuals in finding appropriate accommodation options and support services.


If you represent a housing organisation or own rental properties, we encourage you to consider advertising on the Veterans In Need website. By doing so, you will contribute to providing housing for individuals who are reliable and who will ensure that your property is maintained to the highest standards.


You may be assured that your property will be in capable hands when rented to a military veteran or their family. We currently feature advertisements from all housing authorities and local councils throughout the United Kingdom on our website. We strongly encourage private landlords to utilise our platform to connect with veterans and their families, as they exemplify exceptional standards of integrity and responsibility.

HOUSING

On the website, you will find a wealth of help & information for social accommodation, PTSD, help for mental health problems, application forms, useful links, documents, contact forms, businesses, finance, books, medal mounting, tailoring, as well as details about substance abuse, addiction and rehabilitation.
