Veterans Community Working Party CIC (VCWP) has been created to provide support for Veterans with a recognised mental health problem or at risk of developing one, with a particular focus on those who are transitioning from the Armed Forces or struggling with social isolation since leaving the military. Covid 19 only highlighted the need for like minded individuals to be able to come together, work as part of a team and channel their creativity. VCWP creates opportunities and allows veterans to have a safe and non judgmental experience to enhance and encourage their confidence and social interaction and give back to communities. VCWP runs one project a month (Friday to Sunday) and more during special occasions such as remembrance. The projects are designed to help an organisation with general maintenance, woodland management or gardening. In return they accommodate the veterans. Funding is also in place to provide meals and food for the duration of their stay.
