Wee County Veterans & Supporters aim is to provide veterans with information & support on housing, health issues, employability, welfare and benefits as well as social interactions with ex-military personal and supporters. Supporters are the veteran’s family We also attend memorial services, participate in poppy collections, distribute food hampers, and assist with attendance of our heroe’s funerals.
The Veteran Support role varies dependent on the needs of the local veterans. The Veterans and Supporters attend fortnightly meetings to see which activities / support is required and who can provide the support. This includes visiting care homes or long term hospital admissions, transport to hospital appointments, support with housing, employability, befriending including home visiting or support to attend groups. Helping with Poppy appeals, Armed Forces day or Remembrance parade.
The Veteran Support Volunteer does not have to be a veteran themselves, however they must have experience of living with a Veteran, for example Father/ mother, husband / wife or son/ daughter. Our Volunteers are friendly, supportive with good listening skills. If you are providing transport, you must have a valid license and access to a car. For 1-1 befriending a PVG will be required.
