Our Projects
V-i-C-e-R (Veterans & Inmates Crisis Emergency Response)
In partnership with HMP Swansea and its veteran and civilian inmates, V-Aid produces freeze-dried food parcels for our 3-day emergency food and hygiene packs, designed to provide immediate support for: Veterans in Crisis across the UK, Vulnerable Inmates being released without accommodation, financial stability, or family support in place, Families of Inmates who find themselves in desperate situations. V-Aid, delivers immediate relief through these parcels, while also providing vital literature and contact information for long-term support services to help those in need find lasting solutions.
Inmate to Humanitarian Responder
Our volunteer inmates engage in a six-month accredited modular humanitarian response course, where they acquire valuable skills in disaster relief, logistics, and crisis management. From hands-on food production to receiving feedback from those they assist, inmates gain a sense of pride and self-worth through helping others in crisis. This newfound sense of purpose is a powerful tool in their rehabilitation, promoting personal growth, responsibility, and reinforcing their ability to contribute positively to society. These skills also provide opportunities for future employment and the possibility of becoming V-Aid volunteers or team members for UK and overseas disaster response.
V-Aid- Ukraine
V-Aid Ukraine is a humanitarian initiative formed through the collaboration between the charity V-Aid and our Ukraine partner Myrnenebo. Together, we provide rapid emergency food aid from our large kitchens in Kharkiv and Kherson, ensuring assistance reaches the areas that need it most. Together we are to produce freeze-dried emergency food parcels made with locally sourced Ukrainian ingredients. These meals require no electricity to prepare, no refrigeration for storage, and only water to create a nutritious hot or cold meal. Where possible, we look to support wounded veterans by offering meaningful roles in the production and distribution of emergency aid. This not only provides essential relief but also empowers veterans to play a key role in our humanitarian mission. At V-Aid Ukraine, we are committed to delivering life-saving nourishment and creating pathways to empowerment for those most in need.
