Cassidy Little
Ambassador
Former Lance Corporal Cassidy Little has experienced the camaraderie, the struggles, and the disorientation that military personnel feel after they leave the Armed Forces. He knows the battles don’t end when service does.
For Cassidy, supporting fellow veterans is rooted in empathy, purpose, and genuine connection. It’s about walking “shoulder to shoulder” with them, not just offering advice from a distance.

Latest News And Articles
Permanent Hearing Loss in the Army
Army service can place personnel in environments with extremely high noise levels, increasing the risk of permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. Over time, and without the effective hearing protection, repeated exposure to gunfire, explosives, and heavy machinery during training and operational service can cause lasting auditory damage, sometimes without immediate symptoms.
Financial Advice and Considerations During Military Transition
Leaving the Armed Forces is one of the most significant life changes a person can experience. Alongside the emotional and professional adjustments, the financial transition is often underestimated. For many veterans, the shift from a structured military environment to civilian life brings new financial realities that require careful planning, awareness, and support.
Regaining Independence: Support for the Armed Forces Community
Each year, a significant number of service personnel leave the Armed Forces due to medical reasons, often facing complex physical and psychological challenges as they transition to civilian life. . Many of those medically discharged are living with long-term health conditions or disabilities that can affect mobility, independence, and overall wellbeing.
