The need for Veterans Central

A recent Government survey showed the age profile of UK veterans with almost 35% being over 80; over 50% of veterans are over 65 and thus outside the normal workforce age. This can produce the challenges that Veterans Central aims to address:

• A sense of purpose and an aim
• Socialisation
• Addressing issues and concerns that a veteran might feel more comfortable discussing with another veteran.
• Provide help and support from simple things such as filling in forms or highlighting service providers that can help with specific problems.

What this means for veterans and serving personnel is:

• Create a sense of purpose, an aim that enables you to achieve something as part of the team. Make a difference by joining with other veterans and supporters in developing the West Raynham SHQ building and gardens (check the volunteering page).

• Come and socialize with other veterans – a bit of banter, an exchange of stories, with a few cups of coffee (or tea) and a piece of cake or two, plus a look around this fantastic building and its gardens. A great way to spend an hour or two. We welcome veterans to come and join us at West Raynham SHQ for a drop-in coffee and cake, a breakfast, or a lunch.
o Veterans Central is open for Veterans 4C drop-in (coffee – cake -conversation and company) visits 3 days a week Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday from 10 to 3.
o Our monthly Veterans Breakfasts (2nd Saturday of each month)

Veterans Growth

Charity Number: 1183537

Veterans’ Growth provides horticultural therapy to veterans facing mental health issues.
Set amidst beautiful Sussex farmland, our site offers a relaxing green space where veterans can come to immerse themselves in nature and learn horticultural skills.
During their time on site, participants socialise with other veterans, gain confidence, knowledge and experience and some go on to find employment within the industry.
The charity also conducts woodland management and green woodwork, alongside Mechanics and Carpentry skills.
The aim of the charity is to provide support and a place on the programme to every veteran in the UK who wants to attend and/or is unable to access help through other channels.
If one life is saved as a result of contact with the charity, we will call it a success.
