Heroes of Wearside: Supporting Veterans in Crisis

We’re proud to announce our November campaign, Heroes of Wearside: Supporting Veterans in Crisis. As we prepare for our Remembrance Day display on 9th November, we felt it was the perfect opportunity to dedicate our efforts to Veterans in Crisis Sunderland (VICS). This campaign aims to honour the sacrifices of veterans while raising funds to support those in our community who have served and may be in need of help today.

About Veterans in Crisis Sunderland (VICS)

Veterans in Crisis Sunderland is a lifeline for veterans across Wearside. VICS provides comprehensive support to veterans and their families, focusing on mental health, wellbeing, and reintegration into civilian life. Their mission is simple but powerful: to help every veteran in need get back on their feet—no matter how long it takes.

Support We Offer

VICS offers an array of services tailored to the needs of veterans:

• Training: Through partnerships with various training providers, VICS helps veterans access valuable skills and job training, giving them the tools to secure employment and adjust smoothly to civilian life.
• Counselling: Recognising the mental health challenges that many veterans and their families face, VICS provides specialised counselling to support mental wellbeing and resilience.
