Welfare Service

On-going need to reduce the detrimental affects of military service on the ex-UDR and R IRISH (HS) veterans’ community has led to provision of welfare staff based in Field Teams throughout Northern Ireland.  

These caring professionals provide emotional and moral support and can facilitate access to specialist expertise from across a wide range of statutory bodies and charities, including benevolence funding. 

Their aim is to provide a confidential, trusted service which supports each veteran or dependant in an individual care package, addressing all their needs in a holistic manner.

All ex-UDR and R IRISH (HS) soldiers are eligible for this support, which extends to bereaved parents, widow(er)s, the disabled and dependants.
