To attend one of these courses you must be currently serving in the military or have served in the military at some point in your life

you may be someone who has disengaged and lack confidence to continue as before, or you may simply have recognised that you need a bit of time away from the hustle and bustle of your demanding life.
You do not need to have an official diagnosis to attend.
Our Workshops are free to participants as the costs have kindly been covered by a grant awarded from The Blue Light Card Foundation.
