Voluntary Action Swindon is pleased to announce that it has received a further two years of funding from the Veterans’ Foundation to continue employing our Veteran Support Navigator, Katie Linstead.

Katie is a military wife living with her family at Brize Norton, so understands the needs of those serving, transitioning into civilian life and veterans. The aim over the next two years is to continue raising awareness of support needs and the presence of service and welfare providers in Swindon.    

We would also like to hear from people who can volunteer to help Katie gather information to understand these gaps and feedback to service and welfare providers.  Ideally the volunteers will be veterans themselves, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs), Reservists, Military spouses and partners or a family member willing to volunteer for a few hours per month.
