A secure platform for UK military veterans to connect through daily check-ins, peer support networks, moderated group communication, and vital mental health resources.
Buddy Check – UK Veterans is a secure, purpose-built digital platform designed to strengthen connection, wellbeing, and early support among UK military veterans. Part of the ElevateYou family of apps created and supported by Elevate Counselling & Coaching, Buddy Check – UK Veterans was developed in collaboration with True North Projects and The Stephen Rawlins Project, with direct guidance and input from UK veterans themselves.
This app was built with one clear mission: to ensure that no veteran feels isolated or overlooked. Through simple daily check-ins, trusted peer support, and moderated communication tools, Buddy Check provides a reliable way for veterans to stay connected and identify when someone may need support.
At the heart of Buddy Check is the Daily Check-In feature. Group members can quickly indicate how they are doing each day using an easy-to-use system designed for speed and simplicity. Group leaders can instantly see who has checked in and who may need a follow-up, making it easier to identify early signs of struggle and take supportive action. This simple routine builds accountability, strengthens group cohesion, and promotes proactive wellbeing.
Veterans can create or join dedicated groups, whether connected to a regiment, veterans’ organisation, charity, or informal peer network. Each group can be managed by designated leaders responsible for monitoring engagement and maintaining communication. This group-based approach mirrors the structure many veterans are familiar with, reinforcing trust, belonging, and shared responsibility.
Buddy Check includes a secure, encrypted chat system designed to protect privacy while encouraging open communication. Members can share thoughts, offer encouragement, and support one another in a safe digital space, helping to build connection and trust.
For group leaders, the platform provides tools to help manage and support their teams effectively. Leaders can schedule events, send written or recorded notifications, and share important updates directly with their group, ensuring everyone stays informed and connected.
Recognising the importance of accessible support, Buddy Check includes vital mental health and wellbeing resources tailored to UK veterans. The app also features a dedicated UK Help and Support directory, providing contact details for trusted UK mental health services, helping users access support quickly when needed.
Privacy and simplicity are central to the design of Buddy Check – UK Veterans. The interface is intentionally straightforward, ensuring users of all technical abilities can engage with confidence. Security measures, including encrypted messaging and controlled group access, help safeguard personal information and maintain trust.
Buddy Check – UK Veterans is more than an app—it reflects the values that define military service: teamwork, accountability, and looking after your mates. By making daily connection simple and visible, the platform empowers veterans to support one another in meaningful, practical ways.
