Developing Veterans’ Resilience through Physical Activity

Loughborough University in collaboration with the Royal Air Forces Association is delighted to have received funding to deliver a programme of physical activities and wellbeing workshops to strengthen veterans social, physical and physiological resilience.

The programme, funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust is designed for all UK military veterans, living in the Midlands suffering from mental health and wellbeing issues.

Utilising Loughborough University's world-class staff and facilities, participants take part in a range of activities, led by experts in developing resilience and enhancing health and wellbeing. Expertise includes nutrition, improving sleep quality, social resilience and physical activity.

At the end of the course participants will have a plan of action to help sustain the improvements they have made, including an opportunity to attend a follow-up meeting with other programme participants.
