A Stepping STone
Designed as a ‘stepping stone’ towards independent living, Mountbatten Pavilion offers much more than emergency veterans accommodation. This supported housing scheme provides welfare support for Armed Forces veterans, or their dependents, as well as access to RBLI’s initiatives to help them gain confidence and independence to build a more positive future for themselves.

JamEs’ Story
James currently resides in Victory House, Centenary Village, following his arrival to RBLI’s Mountbatten Pavilion and his induction into the “STEP-IN” programme in April 2021.
After leaving the Armed Forces, where he served two tours of Afghanistan as an infantry soldier with 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, James experienced difficulties with his mental health and proceeded to self-medicate with alcohol. This soon resulted in the breakdown of his marriage and many nights in shelters due to homelessness.
When James arrived at Mountbatten, he was supported with a bespoke STEP-IN programme and he successfully detoxed. PTSD Resolution were already supporting him with counselling on a weekly basis, and soon after, James began volunteer work at The Great Comp Garden, and immersed himself into the Mountbatten Pavilion Fitness room.
James has now moved into his own flat on RBLI’s Centenary Village to further his independence and continues to be supported by RBLI’s welfare team. He has also managed to find a voluntary post at Kent Life in Aylesford, dealing with livestock in the hopes that this will give him some experience in the farming industry to assist with future employment opportunities.
