Weekly Roundup: 19th - 23rd May 2025
Vol. 11
🚧 Operation Renovation 🚧
What a week it has been at the centre! Our renovation project was well underway following the plastering work the guys did last week! Our good friends at Thales joined to assist us, lending a hand in both painting and putting up our guitars and military shields - A massive thank you! 🎖️
Wellbeing Walk
Thursday's Wellbeing Walk saw the group venture out to North Lanarkshire to walk The Big Garden and Canal - The walk was 7km, and fairly flat, with mild inclines, providing plenty challenge 🍃
Special Mentions
Over the weekend, CVS attended The Reclaimers' gig and had a fantastic evening! Filled with lively music and great atmosphere - It was a wonderful opportunity to unwind, connect with others, and enjoy the performance 🎵
A handful of our vets attended a traditional Sikh birthday party on Monday in celebration of our staff member Molly's grandaughter's 1st birthday! A mixture of traditional food and traditional dance, it was a great evening! 🎉
We hosted a visit to the centre by Steve Cockburn of the Collective Advocacy Programme Scotland (CAPS) who gave a short presentation. We're looking forward to working with Steve further in the future!
We rounded off the week with another excellent Scoff & Banter event before closing our doors early to celebrate the Bank Holiday Friday! A friendly reminder for all our community members - The Pearce Institute will be closed on Friday the 23rd and Monday the 26th of May 🎊
Reminder that our doors open Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. As always, breakfast is available until 11:00 AM, followed by a free hot lunch at 12:30 PM for any veteran.
Community Veterans Support, here for you. A warm welcome and a soft landing guaranteed.
