Veterans in Communities (VIC Hyndburn)
Pending display name
VIC Hyndburn would like to run activities, courses and hold a drop-in centre for veterans, their families and the wider community.
About this cause
Our aim is to enable ex-service personnel and their families be a part of their local community. It's about sharing the skills, experiences and knowledge of our members, whether civilians or ex-armed forces personnel, to work towards a shared goal of building resilience and wellbeing for all. VIC provides a wide range of activities and services, including community and allotment projects, groups (art, craft and singing), walks and social inclusion activities and trips. All of our activities and projects are open to members of the local communities, some of whom may be experiencing the same difficulties as the veterans.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The Hyndburn Centre will bring together the local veteran and civilian communities, through learning opportunities, art and walking groups and acting as a drop-in for information and support. Our members will be encouraged to support local community projects and share the skills and knowledge they gained in the armed forces.
