Grantham: Support and Resources for Military Personnel, Veterans and Families

The Hidden Voices project was developed by HWLincs, with funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, to understand how military personnel, veterans, and their families access mental health and wellbeing services, and how well the process works for them. Through conversations and engagement across Lincolnshire, we heard about the challenges people face and the areas where support could be improved.
As a result, we have identified key themes and areas for support. Below, you will find factsheets for each of these areas, bringing together useful information and signposting to help military communities access the services and support they need.
