Views wanted on plans to build Veteran Wellbeing Hub in Loughborough

It would provide a safe space for veterans as well as advice and support, activities, food and drink, and the opportunity to meet other veterans.

The Charnwood, Melton and Rushcliffe Armed Forces Covenant project is working with the Loughborough Wellbeing Centre to apply for funding to develop the proposal.

As part of this work, people are being asked to complete a short survey to offer their views on the idea and the kind of support they think would be needed at the hub. The feedback will be used to help to shape a funding bid to the Armed Forces Covenant.

Views are being sought from people in Charnwood but also across the rest of Leicestershire, Leicester, Rutland and Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire as it is hoped these areas may also create hubs in the future. Views gathered in the survey will be used for the Loughborough bid and possibly future bids in those other areas.

If the Loughborough bid is successful, the hub in Loughborough could be set up later this year.
