Cardiff City FC Foundation have teamed up with the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust to create the Positive Pathways project.
Positive Pathways is a social isolation project that supports Armed Forces Veterans who are at high risk of social isolation and loneliness.

Wales has one of the largest proportions of veterans in the UK with 7% of all veterans currently living here. Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan has a veterans population of around 27,320 and 8% suffer from mental health issues including depression and anxiety.
