02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The association is run by both Civilian and Veteran volunteers to assist Veterans. We provide a warm space to relax and talk with like minded individuals and when required, point people in the direction of organisations that may be able to assist them. We have fundraising events, collection days and cans for donations. We sell pin badges, mugs, bags, pens (some of which are made by our Veterans at our sessions) etc. Our funds help to support veterans by providing starter packs, furniture, or cooking utensils to help with moving into a new home.
