About us

Newport Veterans Hub is a social and support group which aims to bring veterans out of isolation and give them a place to socialise and make new friends. As well as offering support and activities, we link up with other local and national organisations to ensure our members can access the services they need.

We are now open every Thursday 15:00-18:00 at Our new facilities Newport stadium NP19 4PT, our drop in Hub holds coffee evenings where vulnerable veterans can come together in a non-threatening, comfortable environment, allowing our specialist volunteers to identify those most at risk, offer them wellbeing strategies, and signpost them to alternative therapies and treatments.
