Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans urged to join new local project – Coventry Live
Support and advice for Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans is being offered by a Nuneaton charity. Operation Freespeech has been launched by the Veterans Contact Point,which has its HQ in Nuneaton with satellite centres in Atherstone, Dordon and soon in Warwick.
Its aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where veterans can talk freely of their experiences both within these arenas and the problems they face in civilian life. The project is being delivered by a veteran who has seen active service in both Iraq and Afghanistan and believes in the help this project will bring, working in conjunction with the VCP and its partners.
"Sometimes having the support of those that care and understand you can make the world of difference" said a spokesman.
Operation Freespeech will offer non-clinical, one-to-one meetings, online video calls and group activities. It is being funded by the Office of Veterans Affairs administered through the Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund.
Those who would like more detail about the project should either go along to the Veterans Contact Point, which is based in the Horsa Building off Bentley Road , call 024 7634 3793 or via email at contactus@veteranscontactpoint.co.uk
