Soldier On supports service men and women - and their families - who have been affected by their service to Australia in Contemporary Conflicts. In July 2015 we held our first Men's Weekend in the Blue Mountains of Sydney. We took 8 men, all who have served in the Australian Defence Forces in the last 20 years and all who have physical or psychological injuries as a result of their service, on a weekend retreat. This retreat provide them with respite from their daily life as well as motivational, inspirational information such as goal setting, mindfulness, the importance of physical activity and good nutrition. This weekend was a huge success with every one of the participants indicating a positive change to their lives as a result of this weekend. We are currently seeking donations to hold another weekend.
This weekend costs $10,000 for 8 men to attend plus a retreat facilitator and a Soldier On staff member. This covers the costs of accommodation, meals and all resources and activities over the weekend.
