Veterans at Ease is a national mental health charity, supporting the men and women who have served our country.

However it is headquartered in the North East of England in Gateshead. So it would be absolutely remiss of us not to send our heartfelt thoughts to the amazing Kevin Keegan who played such a major part in the history of Newcastle United Football Club.

This is also extremely fitting for us as we have just recently been selected as the chosen charity by Newcastle United Armed Forces Supporters Club. Howay the lads!

How absolutely true. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers, including those in the shops, at events, on our board of trustees, our ambassadors and our corporate partners. We couldn't do this without you.

It's Volunteers' Week 🎉 and we're kicking things off by saying what we mean: charity shop volunteers, you are the backbone of charity retail. Your passion, commitment and dedication make everything possible.

This week is all about you! Your stories, your moments, your impact. We'll have some special content lined up throughout the week, but we want to hear from you too! Tag us in your volunteer stories and posts, we'd love to share them 💚

Whilst the bosses are bossing, I’m helping out on the shop floor this morning, so if you’d like to pop in and say hi, donate any items or visit our fabulous CAFÉ 22 Gateshead at Veterans at Ease then feel free to come and see my happy, smiley face. Side note, an egg banjo and coffee NATO would be great if you’re a veteran and want to pull up a sandbag and have a chat

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all.

Every purchase from Veterans at Ease goes towards supporting veterans like myself, as well as the blue light services.

Our Gateshead shop has the fabulous Cafe CAFÉ 22 Gateshead at Veterans at Ease attached to it, so even popping in for a cup of tea is helping to provide much-needed mental health support.

If you have any donations you would like to bring in, please do. Even if it’s just carrier bags to help our customers, every single donation is so gratefully received.

We are incredibly honored and deeply grateful to the Newcastle United Armed Forces Supporters Club for hosting us at their spectacular annual Black & White Ball. 🖤🤍

It was an unforgettable evening of celebration, camaraderie, and shared community spirit. Beyond the wonderful hospitality, we are profoundly moved to be named their chosen charity.

This partnership and the funds raised will directly impact our mission, allowing us to expand our reach and support those who need it most. To everyone who organized the event, volunteered, and donated—thank you for your service, your generosity, and your belief in our cause. Together, we are making a real difference. Howay the lads!
