We have had a busy start to our week, with visits from both Member of Parliament Jodie Gosling and local councillor Nicky King. Great to have them pop in to see the great work we do for our Veteran Community.


Our Executive Director, Colin Cape, attended this fabulous event at Mary Ann’s Hospice in Nuneaton to commemorate VE Day 2026.




A lovely time was had at this year’s Buckingham Palace Garden Party 2026 by our treasurer Peter Knight.

If you can support Scotty on his journey, it will spur him along. He is known for his crazy charity challenges, but this one is simply outstanding!
Warwickshire ChangeMakers 2025: Honouring Local Heroes
Over 100 outstanding individuals were honoured this week at Warwickshire ChangeMakers 2025—a celebration recognising those across the county who dedicate themselves to making a lasting, positive impact in their communities.
Among this year’s inspiring award recipients was Jason Hester, one of our incredible volunteers at the Veterans Contact Point (VCP). Jason was recognised for his unwavering commitment, compassion, and tireless support for veterans in Warwickshire.
His contribution has been invaluable—from providing one-to-one support to veterans in need to helping develop and deliver essential services that improve lives. Jason’s dedication, empathy, and community spirit truly embody what it means to be a ChangeMaker.
We are extremely proud of all of our volunteers, whose collective efforts make the VCP a vital and trusted support hub. But today, we take a moment to shine a spotlight on Jason and celebrate the well-deserved recognition of his hard work.


Congratulations, Jason – and thank you for everything you do.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire for their generous donation to Veterans Contact Point.
Their continued support makes a real difference in the lives of our local veterans and their families. Every penny donated goes directly toward the services and assistance we provide—whether it’s mental health support, housing guidance, welfare advice, or simply a safe space to connect with others who understand.
Partnerships like this are vital in helping us continue our mission, and we are truly thankful for the Provincial Grand Lodge’s ongoing commitment to those who have served.
Thank you for standing with our veterans.

Following an intensive two-day course with MHFA England, the team are now proud to be MHFA-qualified.

Fantastic event, all set up and ready here at the VCP in Nuneaton for the Forces Employment Charity Families Programme
