About Us

A Community that wants to help

'Hidden Warriors' Warriors walk among us

Hidden Warriors CIC established late 2019 by 4 friends that are predominantly located in the West Midlands and Devon. Our aim is to help families that are engaged in struggle or conflict.

 

We recognise that Family is the single most important influence in a child’s life. From their first moments of life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs.

Where we Started

Since 2019

Our team at Hidden Warriors CIC have many years’ experience working within the Armed Forces and share a passion for helping others in ways of support or fundraising for charities. Our founder worked closely with a registered charity for nearly 6 years and the knowledge/experience prompted Hidden Warriors CIC to be established. A gap was identified that Veteran Support is abundant with a high number of registered charities but there is less that are focused on the Family Support for partners or children. We believe that building relationships with other CIC’s, Charities and Businesses can help relieve the burden of struggle that is experienced by many in the UK today. Our story will evolve as we follow our business plan with our main focus being charitable intent.

Lee Cox

Representative

I served in the Royal Navy for 17 years before being medically discharged in 2013. I am a keen cyclist and have participated in many events from Ride London to the Fred Whitton Challenge. After answering the call for participants for a charity ride in 2018 organised by Gav a new friendship was born.

Since then I’ve joined the team on two more charity rides and assisted with route planning. I’m very honoured to be asked to be a representative for Hidden Warriors CIC and I’m looking forward to what the future holds.
