Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Middlewood would like to commemorate ‘those who have fallen’ on this Remembrance Day. As an accredited veteran friendly practice, it is our duty and honour to support the Armed Forces community, including service personnel (regular and reserves), their families and veterans.

Please let us know if you are part of the Armed Forces community (by following the link in the comments) so that we can do our best to support you.

Middlewood are proud to have partnered with the Royal British Legion and Bollington Leisure Centre to offer free health, fitness, and wellbeing support on Wednesday evenings between 7:00pm and 9:00pm for any veterans and their families (see link in comments for more details).

There are also a wide range of dedicated medical services we can refer to, delivered by professionals who have a military understanding/background, including:

Op COURAGE – mental health and wellbeing service (whilst in service and out)
Op RESTORE – medical problems related to physical injury sustained in Service
Op FORTITUDE – support for homeless veterans
Mobility equipment support
The Armed Forces Healthcare Navigator Service – The Defence Medical Welfare Service (DMWS) provides emotional and practical support when on a health care pathway, receiving treatment in hospital, community-based health care, or at home.
