The Welsh Veterans Partnership is a Veterans and Service family charity in Wales. WVP’s (Welsh Veterans Partnership) working model has been commended by Members of Parliament, the Military Covenant and Welsh government. WVP help service men and women, Veterans and Service family members who have suffered injuries both mental health and physical because of their service. WVP help with transition providing housing pathways solutions, wraparound wellbeing tenancy support and provide mental health wellbeing projects to promote a positive transition into civilian life.
In order to meet the wants and needs of the Veterans community in South Wales, WVP developed The Green Head Space (an Accessible Gardens and allotments project) Central to three WVP housing clusters and the wider south Wales area. The Project has been extraordinarily successful and oversubscribed due to the Covid-19 crisis and gaps in service provision for those with poor mental health.
In 2022 WVP intend to develop The Green Head Space by replacing existing portacabin with a permanent structure to better serve an increasing veterans’ community. Creating a centralised wellbeing hub and treatment room for Veterans, service families and partner organisations to meet and achieve positive outcomes, this will aid to reducing isolation and boosting the mental health outcomes for veterans and the service family community.
