David Beer

Regional Manager, East of England & London

David leads the East and London Regions, responsible for services supporting the social and economic needs of veterans under Op COURAGE, and core Walking With The Wounded services - Support Care Coordination and Employment.

David’s focus is to develop relationships with communities and organisations to improve outcomes for WWTW clients, their families and carers and improving veterans’ reintegration.

With close to 30 years working with the most vulnerable in our society within the judicial environment, community and hospital mental health and now veterans, he brings valuable experience supporting people under the Mental Health Act, Mental Capacity Act, Deprivation of Liberty and Safeguarding.

As a Royal Navy veteran, David has made it his priority to support those who identify as veterans, based on experiences back in 1984, with those who served in the Falklands Conflict, to more recently those who are homeless and living with addiction, due to trauma.
