Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.

We are pleased to announce that our 1st Veterans, Homeless and Community Hub, which is located in Cowdenbeath, Fife is open. The Hub will be used as both a collection point and a place where people can pop in and pick up a care pack without having any stigma or embarrassment attached. At The Hub people will be able to get a bite to eat, clothing if required. The Hub will help support individuals with their mental health and wellbeing and help tackle social isolation. It will also provide a social and safe contact point to those most vulnerable and give further support as required.

We will be working with a number of partner groups who will be able to either support or refer vulnerable individuals to The Hub but The Hub is also a place where people can come along without referral. We aim to provide additional support to those we make contact with through providing clothing, essential food, help and support. The Hub will significantly support those who are facing poverty as well as those who are vulnerable and homeless.

The Veterans Section has been set up by veterans for veterans. The Veterans Section will offer support and care to other veterans, reserves and serving personnel. A safe place has been set up for veterans to come along and have a chat and a brew. They can grab a bite to eat, access the charities clothing bank as well as the pantry, pick up a care package, access the internet, help with benefits, CV's, job searches, veteran ID cards and war pensions. You can relax in The Hub or for those green fingered folks get your hands dirty in The Hubs garden. Over time we will be adding new veteran projects so watch this space.

The Hub opening times are:

Monday and Wednesday from 9.30am-2.30pm

Thursday 4pm-9pm

Saturday 10am-3pm.

The Community Hub Cowdenbeath is stepping up and offering more to the community by opening as a Warm Welcome space. From Monday the 1st of April we are re-launching our community service "Operation Social Grow". This will run in conjunction with The Hub.

Op Social Grow will be a place to come along and have a chat and a brew, grab a bite to eat, access our clothing bank as well as our new pantry, pick up a care package, access the internet, help with benefits, CV's, job searches etc. Or you can relax in The Hub or for those green fingered folks get your hands dirty in The Hubs garden.

We are pleased to announce our 'Veterans Supper Club' has launched and has been a great success. The Veterans Supper Club, is located within our Hub at Unit 12, Thistle Innovation Park, Cowdenbeath. This has added extra support not only to our services but to the other services in the community.

The 'Veterans Supper Club' is held at 7pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.  We offer friendly help and support, food and activities to those who have served or are still serving their country. The Veterans Supper is open to Veterans, Serving Personnel and Reservists. Whether you require help or not our door is open and our kettle is always on.

Every time you visit, we will have hot wholesome food available.  You will have full access to our other services and we will have a variety of activities each time. 

Our Chairman and Founder of the Knights Templar Goodwill Charity of Scotland, Gary Stevenson, says "this initiative is part of the continuous, ongoing support to our military community".
