Ep 46. Pull up a Sandbag: Supporting armed forces communities and veterans in Lincolnshire

Alison and Caty are joined by Paul Drury (Lincolnshire Armed Forces Community Covenant Officer) and Andy Garner (Senior Link Worker for Lincoln City) to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day and reflect on the work that is happening in Lincolnshire to support our armed forces communities and veterans.  Paul talks about a new directory that is available on Connect to Support (please visit https://lincolnshire.connecttosupport.org/armed-forces-community-directory/) which will help you to learn more about what is available to you.  Andy also shares some examples of how this has been put into action to support people. To learn more about veterans and how to support them please also see the video link that Paul refers to at the end.  https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-for-veterans-affairs Please note that the Waddington Night Light Café that is mentioned is actually called the ‘Beacon Café’  and is particularly for Armed Forces and Blue Light personnel. We hope to bring you more information on this soon. It's All About People!
