Weekly Roundup: 23rd - 27th June 2025
🎳 Vol. 16 🎳
Earlier in the week we were visited by Emma Gration, a representative from the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust (RNBT), who provided a valuable insight into the support services available to our Naval Veterans ⚓
On Wednesday we partnered with hairdresser, Graeme Morgan, who volunteered his time and talent, providing haircuts to our veterans. This new initiative is free to any veteran at source and is funded by CVS. Graeme's husband, a veteran himself and a CVS' Trustee also fell under Graeme's blades. The lads got a top curry, courtesy of our chef Molly, and a new Barnet for free, great deal 💈
Ele Davidson and Steve Cockburn of the CAPS Independent Advocacy recently dropped in for a coffee and to meet the CVS Team ahead of the inaugural CAPS 'Work Together' Conference here in the CVS Centre!
Date: Thursday 28th of August
Time: 13:30 - 16:30
'Save the Date' 📅
One of our veteran’s sons, Sam, recently took on the challenge of climbing Ben Lomond to raise funds for Community Veterans Support. Through his efforts, Sam raised an impressive £300 for the centre. In recognition of his achievement and generosity, he received an official certificate from CVS 👏
Thursday saw the lads swap out their walking boots for bowling shoes as they spent the afternoon at the bowling alley after adverse weather conditions postponed our Wellbeing Walk. Safe to say the lads had a great time! 🎳
This was followed by yet another great Scoff & Banter, welcoming our community and enjoying some Bingo and Karaoke 🎤
We rounded off with our usual Friday fry-up in great company as always! 🍳🥓
Thanks to everyone who dropped in this week! We hope you have a great weekend and will see you at 09:30 sharp on Monday! ⏰
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.
