Northern Ireland: Storming The Castle - Motorbike Meet Every Wednesday at Carrickfergus Castle
A weekly motorcycle meet at Carrickfergus Castle, running every Wednesday night from 7 pm to 8 pm.
There’s coffee and a food cart on site
Open to everyone — but especially veteran-friendly
A great chance to chat, laugh, and share stories
Motorbikes are proven to help with mental health — and this meet is all about bringing people together and making new connections
So if you’ve got a bike (or just love them!), come down, meet some fellow veterans, enjoy the craic, and take in the view of the castle.

Aldershot: Shots Foundation supporting military Veterans
Veterans’ Hub
Why do we have a Vets Hub?
The Hub is a key place for veterans and their families to come to in times of crisis and tough times. In addition to this, we hope the Hub will become a staging post to other services, as well as offering drop in clinics and advice services from the mainstream charities and local government services. The Veterans Hub, above all things, will bring together veterans within the local community in order that none of them ever feel left behind or forgotten about.
When is the Vets Hub?
On the last Wednesday of the month, we host our Vets Hub in the EBB Lounge at the EBB Stadium. The hub starts at 10:30 and finishes around 12:30.
What do we do at the Vets Hub?
At our Vets Hub, we always have a guest speaker to entertain our vets. In the past we have had local Aldershot historian Keith Bean, SSAFA the Armed Forces Charity, our club chairman Shahid Azeem, and many more speakers with fascinating stories. Before and after our guest speaker takes the stage, we serve complimentary food and drinks to our attendees, and have a friendly chat.
Foundation Trustee Kay says “Our Veterans’ Hub at Aldershot Town FC is a wonderful event and something I always really look forward to. I know that each month I will get to see a lot of dear friendly faces who mean the world to me. Over time, I think we have built up a fantastic rapport, which extends far and beyond our monthly meetings as we often meet at other events in the wider community of Aldershot.”

Northern Ireland: Supporting Our Veterans & Armed Forces Community - NI Veterans Commissioner David Johnstone
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation to ensure that those who serve, those who have served, and their families are treated fairly. It is not about special treatment, it is about equality.
Backing the Covenant means recognising the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces community and ensuring they receive the same access to services, support, and opportunities as everyone else.

MOD Veterans Services: New online form now available for referrals and self-referrals
A new online form is now available, making it easier and quicker to refer to Veterans Services, who provide information, guidance and welfare support to those who have left or are transitioning out of the Armed Forces.
The form offers a simple and secure way for veterans, serving personnel, and those supporting them to request assistance and supporting guidance. It removes the need to download and complete paper or PDF forms, allowing referrals to be submitted directly to the Veterans Services team who will build and manage your case.
Most referrals can be completed in just a few minutes if you have the relevant information to hand. This may include contact details for you or the person being referred, such as a telephone number, address, Service number, National Insurance number, and date of birth. If you have not served, you can still make a referral – just provide the details of the serving person or veteran you are supporting.
To find out more about the new online referral/self-referral process, please go to: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/make-a-referral-to-veterans-services
