📍 Wheatley Hill Site
📅 Wednesday 17th June

Join our SPLW team for an informal drop-in event dedicated to supporting our Armed Forces community.

Whether you're currently serving, a veteran, a family member, looking for support, or simply want to learn more about the services available, we'd love to see you there.

Meet local organisations, get advice and information, enjoy a coffee and a biscuit, and discover the support available in your community.

Everyone is welcome – you do not need to be a patient at the practice to attend.

Please share to help us reach those who may benefit. 💙

We invite you to join us to support for our armed forces and veterans. Whether you are a current serving member, a veteran seeking support for yourself or a family member, interested in learning more about available services, or simply wish to show your support, we would be delighted to have you join us. Drop in to our Wheatley Hill GP practice on Wednesday, June 17th, from 2-4 pm to meet with representatives from various organisations who will be present to offer guidance and information regarding their services. This event is open to all individuals, regardless of patient status. We encourage you to attend, enjoy a coffee and a biscuit, and discover the resources available through your local community services.
