Edinburgh: Help for Heroes Community Cafe at Fresh Start, Mon 11th Jun 1400-1530

Missing the feeling of community? We get it and so do the rest of our veterans and families who come along. Join us for a brew and a chat. No sign up required, just rock up, no fuss. If you know another veteran or family member who could use a bit of the same, bring them along too! Suitable for veterans and family members, led by the Help for Heroes team

Help for Heroes Cafes are informal, relaxed events where you can meet and enjoy time with other veterans and families. It could be anything from a coffee morning or veteran hub to a veteran-led group. These welcoming events run across the UK and are open to all members of the Armed Forces community.

It's an easy way to dip your toes back into the water and feel like part of a community again. There's no need to book, just turn up and say hello. First brew is on us.

For any information, please contact us at CommunityDT@helpforheroes.org.uk
