About

Our intention on forming the Association was to set up and run a monthly “drop-in” for veterans and their families. Our mission is to work to promote veteran’s wellbeing within the community. We currently offer our drop in and support services within the surrey area. With a weekly archery drop in every week next door to Chelsea Football Club for veterans and their families. The Veterans Support Association is open to all veterans and sprang up from our Combat Stress outreach meetings these have since ceased. We are all former service members; our task is to fill the void caused by isolation and detachment after service life with a social life and comradeship between us. All former and serving Personnel and their families are welcome to join our Association

We work together to make our cause known, to reach out to other veterans who share our commitment to achieve a better way of life. Whether you are ready to lend a hand, or just participate in our activities, contribute photos or news of a recent event to share in the newsletter here is our place to do it.

Our aim is to help members with a telephone support network, social events and to generate a sense of belonging and comradeship.

In terms of expenditure within the year, we purchased some equipment and spent money on events for archery and curling, this totalled £4,376.84.
