Pilgrim BanditsPilgrim Bandits Charity was established in 2007 with the help of Special Forces Members with the sole aim to help and inspire injured personnel to live life to the full.
Pilgrim Bandits Charity was established in 2007 with the help of Special Forces Members with the sole aim to help and inspire injured personnel to live life to the full. The mantra ‘Always a Little Further’ is core to the charity’s attitude, whether working with injured men and women from the Military or Emergency Services directly or by utilising their experiences to inspire and encourage young people and children. Pilgrim Bandits don’t do sympathy, but offer the rewards of belonging to a team, encouragement, belief and the power of humour over pain. Bandits’ primary aim is to help those in need directly, with no compromise. Soon, those who needed help become those that give it. By pushing injured men and women into physically and mentally demanding situations that they would not have dreamed possible; kayaking extraordinary distances, jumping from aircraft, running races, trekking across inhospitable terrain, self confidence is restored and self-belief instilled – Always a Little Further. Pilgrim Bandits pushes those that have already endured so much to go beyond endurance – to embrace life again and in so doing inspire others.

Who Dares CaresThe aim of our charity is to help support individuals and their families, from all walks of life, who are suffering from PTSD.
Although the majority of the people we help come from some form of military background, we are here to help anyone who suffer signs and symptoms of PTSD. This can be anything from trauma, to a bereavement. While we don’t have any full time staff, our volunteers come from a range of military, health and social care backgrounds, with many having completed courses in counselling. We also recognise the importance of exercise as part of recovery and we work to encourage this and make this accessible for those who are struggling with PTSD/Anxiety related issues. An insight into a few of the things that the charity provide: Weekend retreat facilities – this is where individuals and families can spend a weekend away from the daily grind and relax in fun activities Walk talk and brew – this is where we have a team of volunteers (established in Lanarkshire and Edinburgh) that meet with groups of people who maybe just want to clear their head, but have the support of our volunteers there to listen and offer advice etc. PTSD Awareness sessions – we provide PTSD awareness sessions to help provide a better understanding of what the signs and symptoms of PTSD, how to manage symptom and ways that families can better support in a way that is helpful to the individual. Buddy Buddy – this is a confidential place that allows people to vent and express things that they might feel they can’t elsewhere, with the support of other people in similar situations and most importantly, where our volunteers are available to help assist where they can.
