A veterans’ charity has been giving its members plenty of activities to enjoy.

From music and crafts to quizzes and healthy living advice, The Bridge For Heroes centre holds an array of weekly activities for veterans and their families.

The centre provides opportunities for members of the Armed Forces community to come together, learn new skills, and enjoy time with others in a “welcoming environment”.
