The Armed Forces Community is very special, our people have put themselves in harm’s way in conflicts from time immemorial to the current operations going on around the world today. Most return to civilian life with their lives enriched and all the better for their experiences, unfortunately for some, the return to civilian life can be a difficult journey leading into a variety of situations that leave them needing help.
We don’t ask for special favours, just the same opportunities as other members of the community. The sad reality is that having served in the military can be a disadvantage in many aspects of day to day life, and MCVC is here to support South Yorkshires veterans overcome this obstacles.
MCVC provides two key services to help our veterans, whether they be recently returning to civilian life, or left military service a number of years ago
Comradeship
Comradeship is a vital aspect that can help to make a positive difference to the wellbeing of veterans. We run regular meetings where the veterans can get together to share their stories and discuss aspects of their day to day lives.
We have two drop ins a week, on Tuesday and Friday, hands on events like Casting Innovations, and Studio 62, Fortnightly breakfast clubs and many, many more events, all listed on the Calendar.



Support & Signposting
For those returning to civilian life, the day to day tasks that most of us would take for granted can be a challenge. Roles within the armed forces can be very specialised and many veterans leave without much knowledge of the outside world.
To combat this, our members and volunteers are on hand to provide advice and support on a wide range of issues such as healthcare, housing, employment, benefits.
The MCVC’s extensive support network means we can signpost to a variety of different resources, to help Veterans in need.
Geo and Lisa Military Talking Groups

Is an initiative developed by our partners Hull 4 Heroes, who have shared the opportunity with MCVC receive facilitator training to be able to deliver Geo and Lisa sessions. Geo and Lisa offer a safe, supportive and empowering space for men and women with connections to the military community to come together and share the issues they are experiencing.
