HM Forces & Veterans Coffee Morning
Hawkes House
9.30am to 11.30am on the second Thursday of every month
Local veterans are welcome to join the Royal British Legion for coffee, a chat, and the chance to get specific advice and support from the team of professionals.
Some of our visitors have only recently left the Forces, whilst others have been in “civvy street” for a number of years. Their challenges have included loneliness, isolation, depression, bereavement and post-traumatic stress, as well as some physical disabilities.
The opportunity for us to meet these veterans, to hear their stories and then to be able to offer some practical support and comradeship is a truly heart-warming and rewarding experience for all those involved and is making the monthly coffee mornings extremely worthwhile.
If you are a veteran of HM Forces, just drop in – you WILL be welcome!
