Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club

Our students at Apple Orchard recently got together to visit the Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club. The official AFVBC is a vital community where veterans come together to share stories, find support and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Its mission is to create a warm and welcoming space for veterans from all branches, making sure the support and welfare needs of veterans are fulfilled and also by fostering camaraderie and offering a network of like-minded souls.

As a very small school we also want to help our young people to make connections beyond our boundaries and so when the opportunity came to join the veterans for a morning, we were not short of volunteers, especially as some of our students are cadets as well!

The morning proved to be an enriching experience and the students were presented with badges to remind them of their visit. We are hoping this will be more than just a one-off and lead to a growing relationship over the coming months and years.
