The Centre gives the opportunity for ALL Serving & Ex-Service personnel and/or their Families to seek advice and assistance from any of the Ex-Service and Civilian Agencies/Charities available on the day.

In July 2008, Dr Morgan O’Connell (recently Chief Consultant Psychiatrist to Combat Stress) and John “Joe” Erskine (SSAFA – Forces Help “Portsmouth”), together with David Watts,

(Ex General Manager of The Royal Maritime Club “Portsmouth”), put together a “Veterans Outreach Support” programme for ALL Serving & Ex-Service personnel and/or their Families. The team in Kent have now extended the “Veterans Outreach Support Centre” to the whole of the Kent area.

ALL information and details given will be treated as strictly confidential.
