Veteran Retreat Club CIC
Beyond military service our servicemen/women often struggle with integrating into 'civvy' lifestyle. They often feel alone, misunderstood and lacking purpose, which leads to frustration and poor mental and physical health and in worst case suicide, homelessness and prison sentences.
During the time served veterans would have been posted in various places across the world making it difficult to have solid relationships 'back home', so when things become difficult there isn't a go-to to share worries and life's pressures. Our guests become part of a network of veterans that provide the camaraderie and support that they have been missing since leaving the forces.
Veteran Retreat Club CIC is the sister company to Exclusive Retreat Club who deliver health and wellbeing retreats and support services for our UK based military veterans.
Our events and services provide a safe place, space and expertise to help provide tools to deal with this thing called LIFE. We work on all aspects of health and we provide a real understanding of the importance of self care.
From December 2023 we are running 12 events over 12 months to raise funds to deliver specialist wellbeing retreats, we genuinely appreciate every donation and any support received.
