The group was set up about 7 years ago to provide respite breaks for Armed Forces Veterans, serving members and their families that suffer with PTSD. But with the COVID pandemic and recent issues in the world the scheme has now been opened to all veterans and their families.
Currently there are caravans in Devon (Paignton area) and Ashbourne (Derbyshire). They are located on Caravan Parks with use of all the facilities.
The group is completely non profit making and all money taken goes towards improving the already held facilities.
The group is run by a number of veterans who contribute to the running and fundraising side of things.
