REORG
Reorg is a local charity based in Richmond (in West London) that exists to support and empower veterans who have sustained mental or physical impairment whilst serving their country.
Reorg, a term used in the military meaning to change plan, offers ex-servicemen training in the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. This combative sport not only instils a super-awareness of one’s body but also provides indelible psychological benefits for those living with PTSD or depression. Hardly less important, is the routine and camaraderie that Reorg's environments create, which helps heal the general feelings of displacement that ex-military people commonly face when they return to civilisation.
Reorg’s presence in Brazilian jiu-jitsu academies is nationwide and has now expanded to reach the US and as far as New Zealand. Its success has only been made possible through the incredible support is receives from voluntary donations.
