The Stand Tall Programme
Housing, Work & Wellbeing - as One
Housing, employment, and mental health are not separate problems. The Stand Tall Programme tackles all three at once - addressing the causes of veteran homelessness, not its symptoms.
Training & Employment
Work
Accredited retraining - trades, transport, security, and tech licences - turning military skill into civilian careers, with employer partnerships.
The Stand To App
Wellbeing
A free daily check-in, one-tap crisis line to a trained responder, a digital veterans discount card, and smartphone gifting for the homeless.
The Veteran Journey
From the Street to Standing Tall
One programme, one continuous hand - never letting go from the first night indoors to a life rebuilt.
-
01
We build the home.
A safe, sustainable, affordable place of their own - the foundation everything else stands on.
-
02
We help find the career.
Accredited retraining and real employment - turning military skill into civilian purpose.
-
03
We check in every day, through Stand To.
A daily companion in their pocket - so no one slips back through the gaps, unseen.
-
04
So every veteran can Stand Tall.
Housed, employed, supported, and proud - the whole point of everything we do.
Pillar I - Housing
Not Five Percent Off. A Home That's Theirs.
The most prominent support from major housebuilders is a 5% discount - a gesture that does nothing for the homeless or the low-income veteran.
We make a structural commitment: 25% below market value, always - on veteran-only homes, acquired and built on land sourced nationally.
Help us buildOwnership
Buy at 25% Below Market
Restricted-covenant, veteran-only homes - like over-55s villages, but for those who served.
Rental
Affordable Rent for Those Who Need It
Subsidised rent for veterans not yet able to buy, with a clear pathway to ownership.
Land strategy
Acquiring Land Nationally
Brownfield, sites without planning, and sites with existing permission - under veteran-community use.
Current Opportunity
Knights Templar, Templecombe
Our first live site in Somerset - planning secured for 18 three-bed bungalows, ready to build for those who served.

Sustainable by Design
A Carbon-Neutral Developer, Building Homes That Cost Almost Nothing to Run
Every home we build is fully sustainable - solar-powered, battery-backed, and highly insulated. We are a carbon-neutral developer: low-impact to build, and clean to live in.
It isn't just good for the planet - it's good for the people inside. Many veterans live on fixed pensions or transitional incomes, and near-zero energy bills mean a warm, secure home they can actually afford to keep.
Net-zero carbon
in construction and in everyday running
Every home, solar-powered
Solar Powered
High-efficiency roof panels generate clean, renewable electricity on every home.
Battery Storage
Stored energy for night-time use and power cuts - independence from the grid.
Energy Efficient
Deep insulation and modern heating keep running costs - and carbon - extremely low.
Sustainable Materials
Responsibly sourced, low-carbon materials, factory-made in Britain to cut waste.
Carbon Neutral
A net-zero footprint across our developments, from groundwork to handover.
Carbon Offsetting
Any residual emissions are offset by supporting humanitarian and reforestation projects across the globe.
In development
A Compact One-Bed, Built to the Same Standard
We're developing a small, fully sustainable one-bedroom home - solar-powered, battery-backed and modular - to get veterans experiencing homelessness off the street and into a warm, dignified space, fast.
1 bed+ 1 bathroom
~400sq ft, modular

Pillar II - Training & Employment
From Service to Civilian Career
Veterans leave with exceptional skills - leadership, logistics, engineering, driving, security - but lack the civilian certifications to convert them into work. Accredited retraining is the bridge.
- Delivered from established Dorset facilities and partner colleges.
- Funded by ELC / ELCAS, OVA grants and employer co-funding.
- Graduates placed directly with veteran-friendly partner employers.
