Digital Skills Sessions for Veterans - Programme Completed

Veterans Christmas Meal 2024

Our Veteran’s support navigator Katie concluded the final Veterans digital skills session on Tuesday 17th December 2024. The programme consisted of 10 weekly sessions on basic courses within the ‘Learn My Way’ platform. The overall aim of these sessions was to encourage veterans to utilise the use of digital devices (tablets) and learn new or enhance their digital skills with various features and platforms, such as accessing emails and working with office programmes.  

On Wednesday the 11th of December 2024, a Veterans Christmas Lunch was held at Brookhouse Farm in Swindon. VAS Veterans Support Project were awarded the Zurich’s Christmas Community Challenge after applying for the challenge back in October 2024.

The veterans enjoyed a three-course Christmas lunch of their choosing and were each given a Christmas gift from the Zurich team at the end of the meal.

Zurich’s Staff members that worked on the event did an amazing job at organising and engaging with the veterans throughout the day. It was a welcoming and warm atmosphere which was very much appreciated by all involved. There was a great variety of Veterans from all services and backgrounds, with invitations being offered to those we felt would truly benefit from a social outing especially during the festive period. Many of the veterans invited live alone and are often social isolated or excluded from such opportunities.
