NINE S.H.I.P.S Veterans Project - Remembering Our Roots

Following on from our highly successful delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust “Force for Change” programme in 2021-2022, we are delighted to be continuing funding from them for the ‘Afghanistan Veterans Fund – Strand 4’. Our services remain the same, with the addition of support for families and younger Veterans.

In November 2022, we were honoured to be awarded funding from Greenwich Hospital, to respond to the need for support and time in nature to serving Personnel and families from RNAS Culdrose. The support we offer is as follows:

1. NINE S.H.I.P.S ‘All Call Signs’:

Fortnightly Wednesdays 16:00 – 20:00. Please contact us for dates and to be voluntarily included in our group messaging reminders.

2. NINE S.H.I.P.S ‘Master of Two Worlds’:

Our 3-month project, with a weekly online group Zoom call and celebratory day in the woods. This is more in-depth, working with core emotions, connection, and trauma healing. Where we develop safely, the capacity to acknowledge, feel and express ourselves, where we are stuck, have resistance & judgements and lacking in true contentment.

3. NINE S.H.I.P.S Bushcraft courses (Qualifications):

Level 2 Foundation in Bushcraft Skills and Wilderness Living.
Level 3 Foraging.
An opportunity to formalise your skills and knowledge in a practical, applied way. This is accredited by the NCFE (Northern Council for Further Education) and the IOL (Institute for Outdoor Learning), in association with Wildway Bushcraft.

Stacey is the real deal when it comes to all things Bushcraft, Survival and Wilderness Living, especially in the foraging and edibles department. A true Bushcraft legend!

This was the light bulb moment for me, and has helped me more than all the dry counselling could ever do. For this, I will be eternally grateful to Stacey, as he saved my life

I owe Stacey a large debt of gratitude as he played a major part in my journey to become a qualified Bushcraft Instructor, and helping me on my road to recovery’

I first met Stacey while doing my NCFE Level Four Instructors qualification in Bushcraft, Survival, Wilderness Living skills and Mentoring. As a fellow Veteran, his warm friendly welcome set me at ease instantly. I knew I had entered an area free of ego and bravado

Stacey’s knowledge, enthusiasm and skills, as well as his amazingly positive attitude to everything he does, is just second to none

WOW! This was exactly what the Dr should have ordered. I made new friends and shared stories around the campfire and the spirits were lifted. So, THANK YOU James and Stacey you have, in my eyes, struck gold. This is a perfect solution for Veterans who have missed the banter of military mates since being forgotten by the MOD
