Since the Beginning
Our Humble Journey
Founded in 2023, we aimed to provide a veterans group to create a space where we can support the veterans, families and supporters of Newbiggin by the sea. Since then we have expanded into wider community and created strong bonds with local businesses and communities alike. We have participated in fundraising for various groups and supported our local counsel with multiple events, in doing so we have gained a range of supporters
throughout the community.
Community Roots
What started as a group of veterans, friends and family has grown into an expanding community with strong links into the town of Newbiggin By The Sea. We are recognised through the town due to our work in fundraising and our support for local charities and enterprises.
A Shared Future
Expand the support and provision availiable to veterans and their supporters with a focus on wellbeing and mental health support.
