Stand To Ex-Forces Service

STAND TO is an alcohol service dedicated to Derbyshire’s Ex-Forces community. We cover the whole of Derbyshire. At STAND TO our dedicated, experienced and highly trained staff, volunteers and peer mentors (most of whom themselves are ex- forces), have a particular awareness of the issues veterans and their families may experience. We also understand some of the challenges individuals may face in admitting alcohol is a problem and the conflict often felt in asking for support. Get in touch for an informal chat.
