The Prize

An experience with The King’s Royal Hussars, a crack Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank Regiment based at Tidworth on Salisbury Plain (90 minutes from London).

The visit will include an opportunity to meet members of the Regiment, many who will be veterans from recent military operations.

Guests will be given a full tour of the Regiment’s fighting vehicles and an opportunity to go through training experiences on the various tank simulators.

Guests will have an opportunity to get into Challenger 2, the British Army’s foremost land fighting vehicle.

Guests will then be invited to lunch in the Officers’ Mess with the Officers of the Regiment.

This will also include an opportunity to see first-hand many of the historic treasures and military artifacts dating back over 300 years of the Regiment’s history.

The experience is for a maximum of 6 people to take place in 2018.

The Cause

Walking With The Wounded provides a pathway for "at-risk" veterans to integrate back into society and sustain their independence. At the heart of this journey is employment.

Our objective is to support physically, mentally or "socially" injured veterans in overcoming the hindrances preventing them from integrating back into society, leading independent lives and holding down a fulfilling job that makes the most of the unique skills gained through first-class military training. Our programmes give them access to mental health therapy, support them in their journey out of homelessness, work with those at the point of entering the criminal justice system and guide marginalised veterans into education, training and employment.

We have achieved much in recent years, however with success comes ambition and responsibility—ambition to support more "at-risk" veterans in society by expanding employment opportunities and a responsibility to deliver the most successful and sustainable outcome achievable for each and every veteran we support.
