What this organisation does

Stoll Foundation is a UK charity and housing provider that supports vulnerable and disabled military veterans through affordable housing and tailored support services. Its aim is to help veterans live fulfilling and independent lives through accommodation, wellbeing support and access to specialist partner organisations. 
While the organisation is focused on veterans rather than the maritime sector specifically, it may be relevant to seafarers, fishers or family members who are also military veterans, or who support someone with a military background. Eligibility requirements apply. 

Who can use the service

Applications for supported housing are generally open to people who:
  • Have served in the British Armed Forces.
  • Have support needs because they are vulnerable or living with a disability. 
  • Are the widow, widower or partner of a deceased serviceperson and have support needs. 
The organisation provides accommodation and support across its sites in London and Aldershot and also works through wider housing partnerships across the UK. 
If you are uncertain whether you qualify, contact the housing team directly for guidance.

  • Affordable supported housing for eligible veterans.

  • Assessment of wellbeing, health, finances, home safety and longer-term housing goals. 
  • Partnership working with other charities and support agencies to provide specialist assistance.
  • The Veterans' Nomination Scheme, which helps identify affordable accommodation opportunities for veterans across the country.
