What we do

Veterans should not have to face the challenges of PTSD, or mental illness, in silence or alone. Through the teamwork and camaraderie of Guitars 4 Veterans (Wales), they will have the resources to join a community of veterans where they learn to play guitar and through the proven application of music improve their mental wellbeing.

Guitars 4 Veterans (Wales) is a non-profit project dedicated to providing relief to struggling veterans through the healing power of music and community. Its mission to share the healing power of music by providing free guitar instruction and instruments in a structured program run by veterans.

This is a unique programme that provides a lifetime of wellness.

To coin a proverb 'Teach a man to fish ....'
