We were absolutely delighted with the success of this morning’s launch of the Veterans Hub at the Lindsay Con Club in Cefn Hengoed. It was a truly positive and well-attended event, with over 30 individuals joining us to mark this important occasion.
We were honoured to welcome several distinguished guests, including:
- The Mayor of Caerphilly Borough, Councillor Dawn Ingram-Jones
- Robert Govier MBE Royal Navy
- Caerphilly Borough Armed Forces Champion Councillor Teresa Heron
- Bargoed Town Councillor, Councillor Yvonne Price
- Karin Thomas Armed Forces Liaison Officer (AFLO) Gwent
- Abi Warburton and Jamie Ireland Invited Guest AFLO’s
- Chairman of the Royal Welch Fusiliers Comrades Association Bargoed & Blackwood, Mr Kieron Heaven
- Rob Townsend from Change Step,
- Jessica Carey SSAFA
We also had valued representation from the Royal Navy, SSAFA, ICARUS, the Fire Brigade, the Royal British Legion, the Lions Club, ARC, the Association of Veterans Hubs, Hugh James Solicitors and Bike Lawyers, Armed Forces Liaison Officers, and many more.
We extend our sincere thanks to all those who attended, supported, and contributed to making this launch a success. A special thank you to the staff at the Lindsay Con Club for their warm hospitality. Apologies to anyone we’ve unintentionally missed – your presence was equally appreciated.
With day one successfully behind us, we now look forward to the next Veterans Hub meeting every Monday, from 11:00 to 13:00 at the Lindsay Con Club. All are welcome.
Thank you for your continued support.
