DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the original and official Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Clubs, the organisation is run with the official logo, domain names and original Values.
The Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Clubs is run for ‘by veterans for veterans’ and for the benefit of Veterans.
BREAKFAST CLUBS AND WHAT THEY DO
The Breakfast Clubs are for groups of service personnel and veterans of H.M Forces to attend to have a Butty & Banter (Breakfast and Drink).
There is no financial gain by ANYONE from a Breakfast Club, there are no rules, subs, fees, the only thing a person should pay for is their Breakfast.
This allows members to get together and have a bit of squaddie banter and a butty without having to explain themselves as some civilians do not have the same sense of humour.
A local club also gets together during a weekday to meet socially and go to other events in the area.
The main aim is to get members who have served talking to someone who may have gone through the same experiences they have without feeling the person does not know what they are talking about.
Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Clubs (AFVBCs) are informal, community-based organisations that provide a supportive and welcoming environment for veterans of the armed forces. These clubs aim to address the welfare needs of veterans through a variety of activities and initiatives.
The welfare aims of AFVBCs include:
Social Connection: AFVBCs seek to alleviate feelings of isolation and provide veterans with a sense of belonging. They offer a social setting where veterans can meet, bond, and share their military experiences, fostering camaraderie and a sense of unity.
Peer Support: These clubs encourage open and non-judgmental discussions among veterans about their experiences, challenges, and concerns. Peer support is an essential element in helping veterans cope with the unique issues they may face, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the transition to civilian life.
Mental Health and Well-being: AFVBCs recognise the importance of mental health for veterans and work to create an atmosphere where veterans can discuss mental health issues openly. They may also provide information about mental health resources and encourage veterans to seek professional assistance if needed.
Assistance with Benefits and Services: Many veterans are entitled to various benefits and services from government agencies and non-profit organizations. AFVBCs often help veterans understand and navigate these systems, ensuring they receive the support they are entitled to, such as healthcare, disability compensation, and educational benefits.
Information Sharing: These clubs serve as a valuable source of information, sharing updates on resources, events, and opportunities that are relevant to veterans. This may include job fairs, educational programs, legal assistance, and other pertinent information.
