Armed Forces Community Open Day
Overview
The aim of our Armed Forces Community 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, Lincolnshire Carers Support Service, 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 and never will be!
Our next Open Day
Many familiar organisations will be in attendance such as the RAFBF, Help for Heroes, Op Courage (a specialist NHS mental health and wellbeing service designed for serving personnel leaving the military, reservists, and UK Armed Forces veterans), SSAFA, Lincolnshire Carers Support Service, Op Nova, Blind Vets UK, Anglian Water, Mindspace and many more. Timings are 10:00 to 14:00 (10am to 2pm) but please note, if you arrive in the last hour there is no guarantee that the service you want to access will still be there. We cannot force organisations to stay there if no one is coming through the door; so please plan accordingly!
