Supporting the families of physically or psychologically injured British #armedforces personnel and #veterans | Registered charity: 1161224 / SC046402
Today, on VE Day, we remember the end of war in Europe — and we honour not only the bravery of those who served on the front lines, but also the quiet courage of the families who stood behind them.
We remember. We honour. We support.
We remember. We honour. We support.

A powerful moment from our conversation with Gill Charlton as she spoke about finding your community. At The Ripple Pond we see first hand the positives of peer support and community.
