What is Change Step?
Delivered by veterans for veterans, Change Step offers peer mentoring and help to access relevant services — including support with mental health, substance misuse, criminal justice and housing issues.
Our peer mentors deliver support at drop-in locations throughout Wales, plus activities and one-on-one support, while dedicated staff work with veterans’ families.
Who is Change Step for?
We help anyone who has been a member of the UK Armed Forces.
We can also provide practical and confidential support for family members or carers — either alongside or independently of the veteran.
What can Change Step offer?
- a contact point for veterans, their families and carers, with help to access other services
- community-based peer mentoring delivered by veterans for veterans
- training and volunteering opportunities
Our community-based activities and volunteering opportunities provide a therapeutic and social outlet, allowing participants to develop new skills and pick up formal qualifications.
