A F & V Launchpad Ltd Company Information
General information
Armed Forces & Veterans is an award-winning UK-wide charity that provides rented housing, employment and welfare support for veterans who struggle with transition from military service to civilian life.
The charity operates two refurbished old people’s homes in Newcastle and Liverpool, accommodating around 80 veterans at any one time.
The majority of residents (95%) come to the charity after a period of homelessness. It aims to get veterans into employment and living independently within two years.
Many residents have welfare and health issues, broken families, drink and drugs issues and some come from prison. Most suffer from depression and 15% or so suffer from PTSD.
The Newcastle home is Avondale House, in the Byker Estate, which opened in 2014. It includes 34 one-bedroom flats and a 3-bedroom house.
The Liverpool home is Speke House, to the south of the city, which accommodates 52 flats opened in early 2015.
Since launching in 2013, 230 veterans have passed through Launchpad’s houses, or are still residents.
72 (40%) veterans have gained employment so far.
