Story

Launchpad provides safe, secure accommodation and other essential support to homeless veterans in the UK to help them make a successful transition to civilian life.

The charity has three houses: Avondale House in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which comprises 33 self-contained one-bedroom flats; Speke House in Liverpool accommodating 48 residents in self-contained flats; and Hollyacre House in Durham, which includes 13 self-contained one-bedroom flats and one flat for 5 people.

Since 2013, the charity has supported over 550 veterans (at Jan 2022).

90% of residents come to Launchpad from a homeless background. 62% of residents successfully move on to settled accommodation and 36% leave in paid employment.
