Main Support Services
Banter and Brew Sessions
Our Banter and Brew sessions offer a relaxed, friendly space where veterans and the wider community can meet up for a chat and a free breakfast bap. These weekly drop-ins help reduce loneliness and give people the chance to share experiences, find support, or just enjoy a warm drink and good company.
7 Step Civilian Skills Program
The 7 Step Civilian Skills Program is designed to help veterans and those with similar life experiences move forward into civilian life. The course covers key areas such as building confidence, understanding emotions, preparing for work, and setting personal goals. It is delivered in small, supportive groups and gives people the tools they need to make positive changes.
Community Projects
Our community projects bring people together through practical, hands-on activities like gardening, art, beekeeping, and bushcraft. These sessions support mental health, improve wellbeing, and encourage people to learn new skills. The projects are open to everyone and run in a safe, welcoming environment.
LINK Community Hub
The LINK Community Hub is a welcoming centre based in Powick, Worcestershire. It offers a range of activities and support services including the Well Bean Gardening Club, art and craft groups, mental health support, and help with employment. The hub is open to all and is a place where people can learn, grow, and feel part of a community.
HMP Services
We support veterans in prison through our HMP services, which include regular in-reach visits and one-to-one support. Our aim is to help veterans make a fresh start by building trust, offering practical advice, and preparing them for life after release. This includes linking them with housing, employment opportunities, and welfare support once they leave custody.
