🪖 Veterans Support Group – You've served. Now it's your turn to be heard. 🪖

Civvy street can be rough. Folk don’t always get what you’ve seen, done or carried. That’s why this space exists.

The Veterans Support Group, run by Veterans 1st Point, meets every Wednesday at 10:30am at the EACHA One Stop Shop in Kilmarnock.

💬 Tell a few dits
☕ Grab a brew and some scoff
🤝 Catch up with other vets who actually get it

There’s no need to explain your story from scratch. No saluting, no red tape. Just real connection, banter, and honest chat from one vet to another.

Turn up. Speak your mind. Or just listen. You’re among your own.

💥 Please be advised, that following NHS management guidance, we have to cancel our drop ins this week 💥
