Uniquely Us: The Catterick Integrated Care Centre

The NHS and Ministry Of Defence (MOD) have launched a six-week myth-busting campaign – Uniquely Us: The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC) – across Catterick and Richmondshire.

We want to help you understand what services the new centre will (and won’t) provide, and make sure you know where to go for the right care.

Over the coming weeks, our team will be out and about in libraries, village halls, markets and other local spots to answer your questions and hear your feedback.

Come along, meet the team, and have a chat about what the new centre means for you and your family.

North East: Military Veteran Football


Welcome to Military Veteran Football Club, a unique initiative founded in 2022 by a dedicated team of veterans: David (RAF), John (Army), Russ (Navy), and Laura (Dependant). Based in the North East of England but extending our reach across the UK, we are committed to providing casual football sessions for military veterans and service personnel.

At MVFC, we believe that everyone deserves a place to play. Our ethos is simple: any veteran or service member, regardless of age, gender, ability, or length of service, is welcome to join our sessions. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and positive environment where individuals can be themselves, fostering both physical and mental well-being while combatting social isolation.

Led by veterans who understand the unique challenges of military service and the transition to civilian life, our sessions are designed to promote camaraderie, fitness, and friendship. Join us on the pitch to connect with fellow veterans, enhance your physical health, and enrich your life through the power of football. Together, we can build a supportive community that celebrates resilience and unity.
