“Life can feel like a battle”....
We believe it is not enough just to fight the symptoms of stress, depression and addiction, we must declare war on the emotional pain at the core. The warrior programme aims to change lives by arming people with the right weapons to discharge their emotional pain.
Stress and depression is spiraling out of control in the UK. 31 million prescriptions for antidepressant drugs were written in 2006 [The Times 2007]. The warrior programme has developed in detail an effective process to enable participants to retake control and move forward positively and productively in life.
Who can we help?
Anyone who is suffering depression, anxiety and increased levels of stress, and is serious about changing life for the better. Don’t worry about costs - The warrior programme puts disadvantaged people first, so that means we will help with fees depending on financial circumstances. In fact 75% of participants so far have been sponsored by the charity.
What’s it all about ?
The Warrior Programme is currently offered as a 4-day course backed up by an ongoing support team. Our delivery modules vary, and some include a residential element. Participants are shown how to resolve negative feelings and emotional pain through the use of practical tools. This enables people to:
- Let go of the past and debilitating memories and beliefs
- Release unnecessary stress, resentments and self-limiting behaviours
- Rebuild confidence
- Retake personal responsibility for their lives
- Create a new future
How can you help ?
The Warrior Programme is looking to raise £150,000 in 2008, and will have a phased national roll out, with services developed specifically for ex-service personnel, the homeless and disadvantaged youth, amongst others.

What better use can you put your money to, than to help transform lives. The cost of the programme is around £2,000 per participant. We have witnessed dramatic benefits in many cases which dwarf’s this investment. By focusing our efforts on homeless people; we can together show a novel way to challenge disadvantage and change real lives. What ever you can give, however small will help enormously to enable people to put something back in to society themselves.
