Help A Squaddie was initially established with the primary goal of rehousing homeless ex-service personnel. However, it quickly became apparent that addressing symptoms and issues earlier could prevent homelessness.

As a result, the organization shifted its main objectives towards providing timely and accessible support to veterans in need. By collaborating with various agencies and organizations, Help A Squaddie ensures direct and rapid assistance to ex-military personnel. Additionally, the organization offers support with housing and employment.

Currently, Help A Squaddie only covers the Staffordshire and South Derbyshire areas.
