Each year, Nuclear Veterans from across the UK meet at Pontins, Sand Bay, Weston Super Mare to relive their experiences with old colleagues and meet new ones. For some Veterans this reunion is their only holiday of the year. we desperately need help for the Veterans to attend this event
Situation
Improved relationships with others – Veterans from around the world interact and discuss their experiences of the different tests across the world. Some Veterans are unaware that they live close to other veterans and they only find out during the reunion. We display their names, years, service and rank on large notice boards so that people can see who is attending the reunion and if there are any comrades from their times at the tests. We need to reduce their isolation and loneliness.
Solution
By helping with the cost of travel and accommodation, the Veterans will be able to attend the reunion and meet their old friends and colleagues. For some, the cost of the trip for themselves and carers has become too much and even though they want to attend, their finances do not allow it. By financing both travel and accommodation, we can provide a week of entertainment to reduce their isolation and loneliness and increase their mental well-being.
