Veterans in communities Pendle

​Veterans In Communities (VIC) works across East Lancashire to support those who have served in any of the branches of the Armed Forces, Emergency Services and their families. 

We offer a range of activities in the Pendle area which are run by veterans or retired members of the emergency services. The range of activities include;
  • Walking and outdoor activities.
  • Helping the local community with small projects.
  • Training opportunities,
  • Veterans Outreach and Information Services. 
  • Veterans In Production.
​
Our Peer Support activities and projects are being delivered by veterans for veterans. Our community projects, outdoor activities and outreach services
have been designed and developed by VIC members who understand the needs of veterans.  Although many of our members have served in the Armed Forces or Emergency Services or have an association with the Armed Forces through family, VIC is not exclusive to veterans, and many of our Peer Support activities include those who haven't served. 


The outreach provides free Information, advice and guidance on a number of issues;

·         Welfare

·         Health

·         Education & Training

·         Housing

·         Benefits

·         Social inclusion activities


This service is run by VIC and members of the Armed Forces Support Group, and is part of the Pendle Armed Forces Group.
