HIVE Directory: Support For Veterans

For many veterans, and consequently their families as well, leaving the Services and settling into civilian life can often prove challenging. Without the familiar support network of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families can sometimes feel lonely and isolated and find it difficult to integrate into the local civilian community. They may also experience health or financial difficulties and are often unaware of what types of help and support might be available to them. In order to address these types of issues Age UK Portsmouth has been awarded funding from the Armed Forces Covenant to set up the Special Advice Service, in partnership with CESSA Housing Association, to provide practical support and advice to veterans’ spouses, families and carers.

All Call Signs is a peer support organisation for all currently serving members of the UK Armed Forces and veterans.
We can also support immediate family members and partners in helping their loved ones or or accessing mental health and social support services themselves.

If you’re struggling with your mental health or are supporting someone who is, or you’re experiencing a complex social issue such as homelessness, substance misuse or poor quality of life, we can help.

Does your garden need a spruce up? Or do you have shelf that needs putting up?
