Veterans & Families Open Day

Overview

The aim of our Veterans & Families Open Day is to have a ‘one-stop-shop’ for Veterans and their families to walk in, have a ‘brew’ and see what services are available to them (locally and nationally); plus how to access that support. Some of the services who regularly attend and provide real-time information, advice and guidance are as follows: Veterans UK, RFEA, DWP, RAFBF, Help for Heroes, Carers First, Health Watch, Op Courage (a NHS service), Connect to Support Lincolnshire, Blind Vets UK & Op Nova, to name but a few.

Please note: There is no cost to attend these events, either as a visitor or a stakeholder. There never has been!
