A new Armed Forces Hub is launching in Torpoint next week, bringing military charities, community organisations and public services together under one roof to make it easier for veterans, serving personnel and military families to access the right support.
Veterans Regroup CIC is working in partnership with Torpoint Town Council and Team Raleigh CIC to launch the new multi-agency hub at Torpoint Library on Tuesday 8 September 2026, from 10:00am to 12 noon.
With Torpoint’s strong connections to the Royal Navy and neighbouring HMS Raleigh, the new hub will provide a regular, accessible place for the local Armed Forces Community to meet, access free support from organisations that understand military life and enjoy a brew (wet) and some camaraderie.
Ten organisations have already confirmed their attendance at the launch, with further organisations expected to join.
Rather than expecting people to identify which organisation or service they need and approach them individually, the hub brings different forms of support together in one place. Visitors can talk informally and confidentially about issues including housing, finances, employment, health and wellbeing, as well as connect with others in the Armed Forces Community.
The hub forms part of Veterans Regroup CIC’s growing network of multi-agency Armed Forces Hubs across Cornwall, built around a “No Wrong Door” approach – helping people reach the right support even if they are unsure where to start.
Jane Jiwa, Managing Director of Veterans Regroup CIC, said:
“Accessing support shouldn’t depend on knowing which organisation to contact or having to navigate multiple services. Our hubs make that journey simpler by bringing organisations together in one welcoming, accessible place.
People can come in for a brew and some camaraderie, have an informal conversation and, if they need support, we can help connect them directly with the right people. Just as importantly, organisations can work alongside each other, share expertise and make referrals, reducing the risk of people falling through gaps between services.
Torpoint has a strong Armed Forces identity and we want the community to have this support on its doorstep. Having 10 organisations already committed to the launch shows what can be achieved through genuine partnership working and a shared commitment to our Armed Forces Community.”
The Torpoint hub will also enable organisations to work more closely together, share knowledge and make referrals between services, helping to reduce the risk of people falling through gaps in provision.
There is no need to make an appointment or have a specific problem or support need. Veterans, serving personnel, reservists and military family members are all welcome to drop in.
