Description
"Villages for Veterans" is a call to action for villages across the UK to come together once a year to honor and support veterans. Inspired by the solidarity shown on VE Day 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea is to recreate that sense of community and raise funds for veterans in need. This initiative aims to reduce homelessness, suicide risk, and poverty among veterans. Suggestions are provided for how individuals and communities can get involved, such as contacting their Parish Council to organize events or reaching out to village clubs and groups for support.
