Some Veterans struggle to adapt to civilian life when they leave the Armed Forces. At Stoll we support the most vulnerable Veterans by assessing an individual’s needs and then arranging appropriate support. This can include a new affordable home to rent, developing people’s skills to enable a Veteran to get a job and supporting people’s health needs. Once a Veteran is living independently, on firm foundations, we support them as they move on from Stoll and always encourage this where possible.
A home with Stoll
We provide over 250 Stoll affordable homes for vulnerable Veterans to rent. We currently operate four schemes in West London and we are building 34 new homes in the garrison town of Aldershot.
Veterans’ Nomination Scheme
We arrange accommodation for people leaving the Armed Forces and Veterans. We work with housing associations and local authorities across the country to find appropriate accommodation, mainly for single Veterans. We have arranged a home for over 404 Veterans in this way.
Meeting people’s health needs
We work in partnership with leading providers of drug and alcohol, and mental health services to the Veterans community, and we can provide access to these and a wide range of other support services.
Skills and training
Our skills development programmes include English language, CV writing and IT classes to help people build their skills and return to work.
Independent Living Service
At Stoll we also offer tailored support to enable people to live independently. Around sixty of our residents use our daily Independent Living Service.
Support and wellbeing
A comprehensive range of activities and social events is available for residents from tai chi to archery club, from dinners and dances to darts night.
We are looking for student volunteers who are enthusiastic about working for our organisation and the not-for-profit sector. Volunteers should have an interest in social welfare, mental health awareness and homelessness since our organisation supports veterans in need of housing. An interest in the veterans sector is very desirable and volunteers should be empathetic to the issues faced by veterans in need of support.
