Veterans Drop-In Event

Bexhill Primary Care Network and Rural Rother Primary Care Network are working in partnership with local veterans to establish what we hope will become a regular drop-in event for the veteran community.

The aim is to provide a welcoming and informal space where veterans can access support, share experiences and connect with others in their local area.

The event will also offer an opportunity for veterans, their families and carers to meet with representatives from the local care network and learn more about the support available within the community.

The event will take place on Friday 10th April from 11am - 2pm at the Town Square Social Club Bexhill.

Mother’s Day can be a joyful and loving day, but for many people it can also bring difficult and complex emotions.

Today we’re thinking of those who have lost their mum, those who have lost a child, those hoping to become parents, those experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss, single parents carrying so much, and those whose relationships with their mothers are complicated or painful.

Whatever today brings for you — love, grief, gratitude, sadness, or hope — your feelings are valid. You are not alone. 💚

If you’re finding today particularly difficult, support is available. Please speak to your GP practice or visit NHS support services.

For emotional support you can also contact:
