NEW Hertfordshire Veteran & Community Drop-in

Hertfordshire Veteran & Community Drop-in STARTS THIS FRIDAY 28TH JUNE!

On Friday 28th June, a new community hub will have its very first meeting in The Ashlea Room at Stanstead Abbotts Parish Hall.

Hertfordshire Veteran & Community Drop-in will be held from 12:00 to 13:30 every Wednesday and Friday.

It is a drop-in support hub offering a free cuppa as well as support staff who have at least Level 2 Counsellor Skills and can sign post to any help needed, or who simply know how to listen and converse if people are just lonely.

Coffee and Coping are working in partnership with the Walking with the Wounded charity to make sure that veterans and their families are cared for properly within the community.

Their aim is to provide a space for anyone who is struggling and doesn’t know what help there is or where to get it, as well as for older people who may have lost their friends or partners and just need to feel included and respected. 

See the poster for more information.
