Veterans Outreach Support is a UK registered charity that provides a welcoming and relaxed setting where UK veterans and family members can drop in for confidential social or psychological support.

The charity’s headquarters and main delivery venue is the Royal Maritime Hotel in Portsmouth – a familiar, safe and welcoming place for veterans. They also provide services at a drop-in centre on the Isle of Wight.

The support on offer includes:

• weekly therapy
• support with alcohol and substance addiction issues
• peer-supported wellbeing activities and social groups

Veterans, spouses, partners and carers can contact them directly without the need for external referral.
