“If this app had been available, I’d have been all over it. I’d have been like, what else can I do that’s local to me? Who else can I chat to? What have they been doing that I could be doing? And what have I been doing that they could be doing?”

“If you get a little bit of a boost which something like this could create then that would help improve so many different elements of like your mental health, your well-being.”

 

“It’s good that other veterans can see if you’ve been doing something and you’re in absolute agony and it’s made your mental health worse. You know, they can give you a message and say, oh, you’re all right mate?”

“It would be good to see what’s available locally, services and activities and people with similar injuries, abilities and service background, where I’m not going to turn up and everyone’s a marathon runner you know?”
