My Story

Homelessness remains one of the most pressing issues in the North-East and Yorkshire, and the CEO Sleepout campaign brings people together to drive awareness and vital funding for our frontline services across the region.

At Walking With The Wounded, we see the impact of homelessness, trauma, and social isolation on those who served. Across the North East and Yorkshire, our teams work every day with the NHS and within communities with veterans who are facing some of the toughest moments of their lives — delivering:

🔹 Mental Health support through embedded Op COURAGE partnerships
🔹 Care Coordination for complex veterans navigating multiple challenges
🔹 Welfare support around housing, finances, stability, and independence

These aren’t light‑touch interventions — they are intensive, person‑centred, and life‑changing.

By joining CEO Sleepout, we’re standing alongside others in the region to say:
No veteran, and no person, should be left without support, hope, or a safe place to call home.
