Firstly can I just say a big thanks for all the support that myfarewellnote.com have given to our voluntary organisation so far and as an ex serviceman myself and with a partner and young family, I truly do see the benefit of there being a service like this out there and look forward to working with yourselves in spreading the name of myfarewellnote and raising more awareness of The Veterans Hub.
Because of my own experiences in life, I created The Veterans Hub in October 2017 and maintaining the core values of the British Army it is our aim to make the Hub the key place for veterans and their families to go to in times of crisis, with the intent of starting a peer support program that will encourage veterans to support veterans throughout tough times. In addition to this, the Hub will become a staging post to other services, as well as offering drop in clinics and advice services from the mainstream charities and local government services. Assisting and giving support to others suffering with PTSD,anxiety, depression, mental health and homelessness.
Lastly, The Veterans Hub, above all things, will bring together veterans within the local community in order that none of them are ever left behind or forgotten about.

Myfarewellnote is delighted to announce a partnership with the Veterans Hub Weymouth to help raise money for this wonderful organisation. The Veterans Hub has been running since November of 2017 and supports veterans of our armed forces, who struggle with mental health and re-adjustment difficulties within the local community. The Veterans Hub Weymouth is working hard to gain CIC status and myfarewellnote recently made a donation to the organisation as it is very dear to the hearts of those within the team, none more so than the founder of myfarwewellnote Steve McIlroy, who served in the army for nine years. Steve came up with the idea for the app after seeing colleagues lose their lives while on active duty and then losing his best friend in life to a very sudden brain haemorrhage. Steve so wished that he could have had a message left by each of them and wanted to make sure that other people who lose friends, family and loved ones, at least have the comfort of having a treasured message to read and keep, when the worst happens..
The Veterans Hub Weymouth provide a weekly drop-in evening where they encourage veterans and their families to work together in a peer support environment. In addition to this they work hard behind the scenes to provide an effective signposting service to other organisations, both local and national, that support the most vulnerable in our society. They also work as educators in mental health difficulties by conducting talks for local businesses and educational facilities. The Veterans Hub are passionate about helping veterans and their families, especially those going through difficult times and genuinely believe that their ethos of veterans supporting veterans works and is critical to their continued success. The next step for the Veterans Hub is to make it a full-time project and for this to happen they need your support to expand this service that has already made such a positive impact upon veterans, and their families, lives. Here’s where the partnership between myfarewellnote and the Veterans Hub comes into play - users of myfarewellnote can opt to donate 50% of their subscription fee directly to the veterans Hub Weymouth by entering the promo code “VHM” to opt in to donate. There is no limit to the amount of funds that can be raised, so the more you spread the word the more you help this organisation to continue the amazing work that they do.
The Veterans Hub was only created in October 2017 but thanks to the hard work of Andy Price and his small team of volunteers, they have done so much in such a small time and I have never known anyone as passionate as Andy is when it comes to wanting to help the people that this service has been set up for.
Please do take the time to check out their facebook page to see just how much they are doing and also give them a follow on twitter because they really do deserve more support
