  • Armed Forces walk-in sessions

    Seeking help can feel hard and overwhelming, especially the first time you reach out. Some ex-forces don’t know what help is out there, how to ask for it, and might need support connecting with it.

    Whether you served many years ago and feel your challenges are not related to your service, or you have just left and are not sure how to engage with civilian services, the walk-in can help.

    Held every third Wednesday of the month from 10am to midday. Aimed at members of the Armed Forces community who:
    – Might need help but struggle to ask
    – Not sure what is available
    – Unsure how to access it
    – May have had help before and feel they need more
    – Feel ‘something is wrong’ but not sure what to do about it.
    – Want advice and guidance about a specific issue
    – Are lonely/isolated and want to connect with other veterans

    The Walk-In provides a safe place for information and guidance, and a chance to meet with a range of support services.

    Location
    Blue Light Hub
    West Ashland Fire Station
