Serving the local armed forces community
Our mission is to provide members of the local Armed Forces community with friendship, comradeship and practical support in meeting the challenges of modern life.
The purpose of the organisation is to bring together the armed forces community as defined in the armed forces covenant at local community level. The transition from military life to civilian life is always difficult and fraught anxieties and unknowns.
Bringing together the community by providing a support network for all ages through clubs and social gatherings, providing mobility to attend social gatherings and functions, medical appointments.
What we are working on?
