Premises offer support to former veterans and their families
Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke MP Pamela Nash welcomed Veterans Minister Al Carns to the Veterans Community Hub in Craigneuk.
The registered charity was established in 2015 and moved into its current premises on Shieldmuir Street in 2019.
The Hub offers support to ex-Armed Forces veterans, and their families, from all over Lanarkshire. Drop-in 'brews and banter' sessions are held at the Hub Monday to Thursday, while a cafe is hosted at the Kings Church in Motherwell on Fridays.
The Minister was given a tour of the Craigneuk base and watched a presentation about the history of the Hub.
He also spoke about the new UK-wide veteran support system, VALOUR, which was announced with £50 million of funding by the UK Government in May.
