Plymouth Veterans and Family Hub

Another lovely few days of sunshine ahead 🌞 we borrowed the checklist from PCC 🤫

Our curry and Quiz night is well underway thanks to funding through Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust

The national VALOUR website is now live.

That means if you're a veteran or family member anywhere in the country, you can go online today and find your local support options, or put in a request directly to the Office for Veterans' Affairs.

Here in Devon and Cornwall, Improving Lives Plymouth has been named as the main listed provider in that directory, working alongside Veterans Outdoors and Veterans Regroup. We're deeply proud, and honoured by that fact. It shows the Ministry of Defence and Office for Veterans' Affairs trust us to do real good for veterans locally, and they're backing that with investment to help us deliver it.

Go and use the website today, and get ready for our local offer to take shape over the next couple months.

What an incredible time at Armed Forces Day 2026! I think most of Plymouth must have joined us today. 🇬🇧 It was truly an inspiring experience, showcasing the strength and dedication of our armed forces community. We felt a real sense of national pride witnessing such a fantastic turnout. Thank you Plymouth City Council events team 👏.
A massive shout out to our amazing Volunteers that helped with our stand today!
