The advice and support drop-in clinics are designed to provide accessible and confidential assistance to UDR veterans and their families at locations local to them.
By situating clinics within community settings, the Fund is working to ensure UDR veterans can seek help in a local, familiar and supportive environment.
The service will expand across Northern Ireland as new drop-in locations are identified.

The clinics will be delivered by Lisa Partridge, our Outreach Coordinator and will offer advice about support available through the UDR Benevolent Fund and partner organisations and how to access it.
The initiative reflects the ongoing recognition of the unique experiences and needs of UDR veterans and is designed to help them face challenges related to their service, including health concerns, social isolation, and navigating the range of support services available.
