| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
We have assisted 10veterans who were designated as homeless into supported living accommodation during this reporting year. This has been through the continued support of outside agencies who support |
our | ||
| clients e.g. The Royal British Legion, Night Stop and EDS Homes. |
||||
| Approximately 572 Veterans, dependants and families have accessed |
||||
| our activities through this reporting period covering a wide range offace |
||||
| to face and "online" activities. | ||||
| 238 referrals have been recorded through our services following Needs |
||||
| Assessments which has provided guidance and support/assistance to |
||||
| veterans, dependants and families. |
||||
| The Military Veterans Living History presentations and interactive |
||||
| sessions aimed at primary Schools had been placed on hold for some |
of | |||
| this reporting period due to the limited Covid restrictions still being in |
||||
| force in some Primary Schools. However, the volunteers re-instigated |
||||
| "online" via Zoom and Teams presentations delivering a bespoke and |
||||
| safe environment for children to learn about WW2 and the Home Front. |
||||

with | |||

||||

||||
| from the Town Centre to our own dedicated Veterans Support Centre |
||||
| located within a park to facilitate the increase in demand of our services |
