Lodge Hill was delighted to host an information and launch event for the Veterans Volunteer Service (VVS) on Tuesday April 25.

The VVS explained to an invited audience that it is run by military veterans from all services focusing on support and intervention for young people around West Sussex. The VVS harnesses the skills and experience of veterans to provide positive reinforcement and training for young people in areas such as fitness, first aid, self-awareness and resilience. The project is also aimed at helping veterans leaving the forces to settle back into civilian life.

A pilot Youth Focus Group scheme has already been highly successful in reducing anti-social activities, particularly around the Littlehampton area.
