A wreath. A gun. A village. And a connection that has survived more than a century. The chance discovery of an old receipt, took soldiers from L (Néry) Battery 1RHA on an extraordinary, heartwarming journey. Proof that remembrance is about more than looking back. And there was even a surprise 🍺

Last week Kenny and Kelli visited the South West VALOUR Hub and caught up with Karen Langley, VALOUR Partnership and Engagement Lead, volunteer Cathy, and Joanne from @PoppyFactory, to talk about how best we can keep working together to support veterans across the region. The purpose of VALOUR, led by the @VeteransGovUK (OVA), is to streamline and coordinate the currently fragmented services for veterans and their families. It aims to create a single joined-up network of support, via regional VALOUR Hubs, so that all veterans in the UK can receive the help they need. It was great to see Karen, Cathy and Jo and hear how things are progressing. #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport

Last week we welcomed employment consultant Katy from @PoppyFactory for her very first monthly drop-in session with our #veterans and it was a fantastic start. Katy will now be joining us monthly to provide tailored support on employment to help our residents move forward in their recovery and future goals. We’re excited for this ongoing partnership and grateful for The Poppy Factory’s continued dedication to those who’ve served. Welcome aboard, Katy! #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport

Visiting the @poppyfactory factory this week, Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP made a wreath with military veterans and volunteers for the Remembrance period. 🍂 📺 Watch to see how the Factory has helped veterans during their resettlement into civilian life.

Even the most advanced military armour cannot protect against the mental scars of combat. Every day veterans living with the impacts of serving their country come to us for support. Your poppy shows you care and helps us continue our vital work. #PoppyAppeal
