Citizens Advice Mid Suffolk has been awarded funding from the Veterans’ Foundation to launch Veteran Connect – a brand-new initiative supporting Armed Forces veterans and their families across Mid Suffolk.

Veteran Connect is a community-driven initiative offering support for Armed Forces veterans and their families in Mid Suffolk. 

It is aimed at offering advice, connections, and resources tailored to the unique needs of the veteran community.

This project, initially funded for one year, will deliver accessible, impartial, and non-judgmental support, with a particular focus on veterans living in rural communities.  Many of these individuals face significant challenges in accessing vital services such as healthcare, housing, and employment.  Veteran Connect will help bridge these gaps by offering personalised, localised support and improved access to existing services.

At the heart of this project is a dedicated Veteran Connect Adviser, who will work closely with individuals and partner organisations to ensure that no veteran or family member is left behind.

They are committed to working collaboratively with local organisations to: 

• Improve access to services for veterans and their families
• Reduce duplication across the support landscape
• Enhance the quality of advice and guidance provided in our community

As the only Advice Quality Standard-accredited organisation in Mid Suffolk for benefits, debt, and disability advice, Citizens Advice Mid Suffolk is well-positioned to deliver high-quality, trusted support to those who need it most.
