Who we are
The Weight We Share is a veteran-led fundraising initiative dedicated to raising awareness and support for veterans’ services and men’s mental health. Our team is made up of serving personnel, veterans, and supporters who are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health while honouring those we have lost along the way.
These events will help transform personal struggle into collective strength. Through teamwork, remembrance, and physical endurance, we want to create a platform for open conversations about mental health-conversations that challenge stigma and save lives.

-Raise Funds: Support charities providing critical mental health services and veteran support.

-£10,000+ raise for mental health charities
-5,000+ Social media engagements
