Community projects

VIC Community Projects


VIC recognised that many leave the armed forces with a range of skills and experiences that aren't always transferred into civilian life. We started to develop our community projects in 2012 and every year we have tried to support local schools, community groups and veterans who have not been able to do some of the smaller jobs themselves. 

Our volunteer members have been involved in a number of projects and have learnt a range of new skills; joinery, dry stone walling, building walls and fences, and gardening.


For more information on any of the projects we have done or if you have any projects you'd like supporting with, then please contact the office on 01706 833180 or email Bob Elliott 



You can support Veterans In Communities by making a small donation. All donations will go towards the cost of our range of activities that we offer to veterans and their families.
