A SLICE OF HOPE
MISSION
HOPEFULL FUTURE
HopeFull is an innovative rehabilitation programme, developed in collaboration with Ukrainian partners and supported by Ukrainian authorities, to help servicemen, medics, and their families transition from war to civilian life. At the heart of this mission is the belief that veterans are not a problem to be solved but an opportunity to inspire and strengthen their communities.
Drawing on the proven model created by Simon Edwards for Help for Heroes, the programme offers a holistic approach to recovery, addressing physical, psychological, and moral injuries utilising a peer-led approach. Designed to adapt to diverse contexts, the programme provides a comprehensive framework around which international charities and local agencies can coordinate their services. By fostering a community-focused approach, HopeFull ensures veterans and their families receive the tailored care they need while realising their potential as contributors to a thriving, post-war Ukraine.
