Spearhead Forces Programme

Since 2018 in what started as a what's app group we as a foundation have ran weekly events for veterans to engage and be apart off in hope that it will give people that sense of belonging when they were apart of the armed forces.

 

We do this by running weekly funded programmes, by partnering with good initiatives who work hard to ensure that every person has a place where they can in theory purge, be at one and have fun whilst remembering there service.

 

On top of these sessions weekly we are able to offer exclusive access to Op Courage, NHS MVS and Combat Stress groups to ensure you are being clinically looked after. Now we know not everybody wants clinical and that's why every week at 'The Spearhead Foundation' we have several events open to veterans/serving/emergency services.

 

The timetable currently looks like - 

​

Tuesday, we currently only host 1-2-1's on this day with our engagement officer. These are across the city. (for this email: Mike@thespearheadfoundation.com)

​

Wednesday - FREE DAY (Event Coming Soon)

​

Thursday, although the day is relatively quiet we have the stall wart event which helped found the foundation and is certainly an event like no other initiative in the area. A Pizza night, although you have to buy your own pop the pizza is free and is only open to those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan or both. (for this email: info@thespearheadfoundation.com It is currently held at The Spearhead Foundation (M502UW or type our name on google maps) and starts at 7pm until 9:30pm. 

​

Friday, is a more relaxed approach to peer to peer support. We meet at HQ again, type The Spearhead Foundation on google maps and we grab a brew. We meet at 11am and this is open to ALL our service users.
