Veterans Community Network (VCN) is a local registered charity in England (1191970) that operates across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire.
We provide support to local veterans, reservists and adult family members who need support accessing mental health treatment and wrap around support such as access to housing, benefits and employment support. We also have an outdoor hub located in Sharnbrook in Bedford which offers social prescribing activities.
We work closely with other partners from both the statutory and charity sector.
We have both paid employees and volunteers, all of whom have a military connection (Peer Mentoring).
We are looking to recruit Volunteer Trustees to sit on our Board of Trustees. We are keen to hear from individuals who have a strong back ground in charity governance, safeguarding, substance misuse, mental health, bid writing or who have lived military experience. Geographical location is not important as our monthly Trustee meetings are held online via Zoom.
If you are interested in applying, require any further information or have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us by filling in our online form and a member of our team will get back to you.
If you have a military connection and are interested in volunteering and training as a peer mentor, VCN would like to hear from you. To request a recruitment pack, please email Dr Gill Le Page at admin@vcn.org.uk
Led by Tina Griffiths, Social Activities Co-ordinator, this is an excellent opportunity for Veterans who would like to volunteer to give back to other Veterans in need of support. Activities so far have included garden clearances and fence painting for Veterans who are unable to do this themselves.
