Charitable work
Ash supports organisations helping veterans and their families build secure, healthy and purposeful lives—through advocacy, fundraising, practical involvement and the proceeds of Mindful Soldier.
Why it matters
Ash’s charitable work reflects a long-standing belief that veterans should be supported not only in moments of crisis, but through meaningful employment, strong communities and the chance to thrive after service.
He is particularly committed to veteran wellbeing and employment, mental fitness, and the Gurkha communities with whom he served. One hundred per cent of Ash’s author profits from Mindful Soldier are donated to Royal British Veterans Enterprise and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

Supporting veteran-led approaches to mental health, self-development and successful transition into life after service.
