Events programme at VOS Spring/Summer
You may have noticed a return to face to face activities here at VOS. We are thrilled to be back seeing and socialising with our service users. Whilst retaining some virtual “brew and banter’ events, the monthly programme is now diversifying in terms of location, event and timing. A big success was our recent ‘Paint and Chill’ morning at the RMC with the lovely team from Paint Chill Co. Everyone has an artist in them!
Coming up in April is the return of our successful outdoor walking programme with Outdoor Amore. This is a guided walking programme to enjoy the outdoors together and help with relaxation and mindfulness in nature. The next walk will be at QE Country Park and is wheelchair accessible so give the office a ring if you are interested.
Further into the summer we are hoping for calm seas as we venture onto the water. This will be in collaboration with Boleh Sailing Trust from Gosport Marina. We will also be returning to Gwenilli Sailing days – something the veteran community have enjoyed annually. No previous sailing experience required!
If you’re a veteran from the UK Armed Forces or the Merchant Navy (from any time of service) or a partner to one, VOS would love for you to join our community. We are here to offer our support: call us on 02392 731 767, visit an upcoming drop-in, or email admin@vosuk.org.
VOS is immensely grateful to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust and the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity, as without their support and funding we would not be able to provide these activities.
