Our friendly, informal Armed Forces Hubs take place every month in Truro, Launceston, Redruth, Newquay, Penryn, Helston, Penzance and Liskeard. Each hub offers a welcoming space where veterans, serving personnel and families can meet over tea, coffee and biscuits while accessing support with dental appointments, health and wellbeing, housing, welfare, employment, education and training, volunteering, peer support, substance misuse, and compulsive gambling.

We also invite employers who can offer guaranteed interviews for veterans to attend one hub each month, providing a valuable opportunity to learn about job roles, recruitment processes and pathways into employment.
