Thanks to funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Trust’s Forces for Change programme we are able to provide a number of activities aimed at reducing social isolation, increasing activity levels, and improving mental wellbeing amongst veterans. So far, our programme has included weekly virtual and face-to-face coffee mornings and a Veteran Fit Club. We have worked with partner organisations such as Four Greens Community Trust, Help for Heroes, Improving Lives Plymouth, and Wolferstans Solicitors to help engage with veterans and are looking to seek further opportunities to increase our provision over the course of the project.
Our regular coffee morning takes place on Fridays 11am – 1pm at Central Park Community Sports Hub, except on the third Friday of the month when we are at the Wolseley Road Trust.
We are also able to signpost veterans to other provisions that we provide as well as local opportunities from relevant organisations also to advise and support agencies if needed. Please see link below for Four Greens Community Trust Veterans Outreach page which has information about support and activities on offer for Veterans.
