What is Veterans in Crisis (ViC)?
Veterans in Crisis (ViC) is V-Aid’s programme providing practical support to veterans experiencing hardship across South Wales and the UK.
Working alongside veteran organisations, charities and community partners, we provide emergency food, clothing, toiletries and other essential items while helping veterans access the wider support available to them.
Our aim is simple: ensure that no veteran has to face difficult times alone.
Practical Support When It Matters Most
Every situation is different, which is why our support is tailored to individual needs.
Depending on circumstances, support may include:
- Emergency food packs
- Clothing and footwear
- Toiletries and hygiene products
- Household essentials
- Signposting and referrals to specialist organisations
Wherever possible, assistance is provided through trusted local partners who already know and support the veteran.
More Than Emergency Aid
Providing practical help is only the beginning.
Veterans in Crisis also encourages veterans to reconnect with their communities through meaningful volunteering opportunities within V-Aid’s humanitarian programmes.
For those who wish to get involved, volunteering can help build confidence, develop practical skills, reduce isolation and provide renewed purpose while making a genuine difference to others.
Working Together
Veterans in Crisis is built on partnership.
We work alongside veteran organisations, charities, community groups and referral agencies to ensure support reaches those who need it most.
By working together rather than duplicating existing services, we can respond more effectively and make the greatest possible impact for veterans across South Wales.
How You Can Help?
There are many ways to support Veterans in Crisis.
Whether you are an individual, business or community organisation, your support can make a genuine difference.
You can help by providing:
- Referring a veteran who may benefit from practical support.
- Volunteering your time, experience and skills.
- Donating food, clothing, toiletries or household essentials.
- Partnering with V-Aid to strengthen support for veterans across South Wales.
- Supporting our work through fundraising or financial donations.
Every contribution, no matter how large or small, helps us provide practical assistance to veterans when they need it most.
Every Veteran Matters
At V-Aid, we believe every veteran deserves dignity, respect and practical support when life becomes challenging.
Through Veterans in Crisis, we work alongside local organisations to provide immediate help while creating opportunities for veterans to rebuild confidence, reconnect with their communities and look towards the future with hope.
No veteran should have to face hardship alone.
