Veterans In Communities (VIC) works across East Lancashire to support those who have served in any of the branches of the Armed Forces, Emergency Services and their families.
We offer a range of activities which are run by veterans or retired members of the emergency services. The range of activities include;
Our Peer Support activities and projects are being delivered by veterans for veterans. Our community projects, outdoor activities and outreach services have been designed and developed by VIC members who understand the needs of veterans. Although many of our members have served in the Armed Forces or Emergency Services or have an association with the Armed Forces through family, VIC is not exclusive to veterans, and many of our Peer Support activities include those who haven't served. Our members are an integral element of VIC.

'The RV Veterans Breakfast Hub' was the first veterans drop-in launched in the Ribble Valley at the start of 2020 at the Ebenezer's Coffee Shop in Billington. Unfortunately just as we launched the UK went into Lockdown due to the COVID19 pandemic. During the lockdowns we had the opportunity to relocate the RV Veterans Breakfast Club to a more centralised location in Clitheroe.
