It isn't just here to tell you what's happening. We want it to become a place where veterans, serving personnel, reservists and Armed Forces families can connect, inspire one another and share their experiences.

Tell Your Stories

Every veteran has a story.

Whether it's a memory from your time in service, a personal achievement, a hobby you've discovered since leaving the Forces, or simply a great day out with friends at one of our HIVE events, we'd love to hear about it.

Your experiences could encourage someone else to get involved or remind another veteran that they're not alone.

Share Your Ideas

What activities would you like to see?

Perhaps you'd enjoy:

  • Walking or cycling groups

  • Photography
  • Woodworking
  • History visits
  • Coffee mornings
  • Family events

Or maybe you have an idea we've never thought of.

Tell us what you'd like to do and, wherever possible, we'll work together to make it happen.

Ask Your Questions

  • Need some advice?
  • Looking for support?

Want to know what's available for veterans in the Forest of Dean?

No question is too small. If we don't know the answer ourselves, we'll do our best to point you in the right direction.

Share Your Photos & Videos

  • Did you take some great photographs at one of our events?
  • Have you recorded a short video you'd like others to see?

We'd love to showcase the amazing people, places and activities that make our Armed Forces community so special.
