Veteran Welfare Fund
We are completely self funded. If you would like to donate please contact the facilities manager at info@wiganarmedforcehq.org.uk

We are always looking for volunteers to get involved. Opportunities exist to support the Hub, in supporting the Armed Forces Community in areas such as Health and Wellbeing, Fitness, Case-working, Catering and Administration. If you have the skills and time, we’d like to hear from you.
