So who are
Ur Back Up?
Ur Back Up UK CIC was created last year by a trustee team of veterans. Having witnessed or experienced stresses during a time of need for mental health support, the idea for a simple app connecting veterans and charities to one another was created. We care, because we’ve been there, and we don’t want to see others going through the same.
Our App Is Based on Our Team’s Personal Experiences
When it feels like a barrier prevents you from accessing care, finding the help you need can be challenging. We get it, because we’ve been there.
Ur Back Up UK CIC supports you in attaining the help that you need, by removing the obstacles that prevent care access. Our app allows you to monitor your mood and to inform your specially nominated contact and chosen charity, without having to find the words to do so.
Charities can also utilise the website as a triaging tool, so that none of their veterans can slip through the cracks.
Part of our app development was funded by The National Lottery and the Virgin Money Foundation, along with support from Northern Soul Consultancy and Clydesdale Bank.
You’re not alone. People do genuinely care. With our app, help is now available at the click of a button.
Benefits of Having Easy Access to Mental Health Care
The importance of having access to mental health services as serving personnel or a veteran cannot be understated. Being healthy means more than having a good run time.
We invite you to explore everything we offer at Ur Back Up UK CIC. Our veteran-based team developed these resources because they had to conquer these same challenges. You’ve worked hard to reach the point where you are today. Let’s make tomorrow brighter together.
