The Resilience Sessions is a podcast series featuring compelling in-depth interviews, which bring to light life-changing and affirming experiences of Blesma veterans and the unknown personal struggles of celebrity guests who have fought to overcome hardship, including mental health difficulties, disability, devastating injury and bereavement.

This podcast series is created in association with The Drive Project, who work with Blesma to deliver Making Generation R. We have already helped over 50,000 young people and first responders through the Making Generation R campaign and have seen first-hand the positive impact these stories have on those who are struggling.

We hope that this podcast series will also provide moments of inspiration and strength to listeners. In this episode legendary actor Ray Winstone talks with Ken Bellringer, who was serving with the British Army in Afghanistan when he sustained life-changing injuries in an IED blast.

Ray and Ken discuss the values and experiences that have shaped them and where they have found resilience and strength when they have needed it. They talk candidly about some of life's harder moments, and how they hope they can inspire others to open up and talk with those around them. Both men talk about the importance of family, the role their children have played in motivating and inspiring them, and the value of the little things in life – whether that's a conversation, or simply a cup of tea.
