A YOUTH group will host a veterans club showcase event.

The veterans breakfast group will be inviting members of the local community to come and take part in the formal launch of their 'Joining Forces' project.

The project aims to support the personal, social and educational development of the children of serving and ex-military personnel.

The event will showcase Blackburn Youth Zone’s monthly veterans breakfast, which welcomes former service personnel and their families to socialise and reminisce on their time in the services.

The breakfast is open to veterans who have served in all three military services and has no age limit.

The showcase will also give those attending the opportunity to learn about the range of other services available through the ‘Joining Forces’ project and other partner projects.

The event will take place on February from 7.30pm until 9.30pm at Blackburn Youth Zone in Jubilee St.

The showcase will be open to all members of the community and will include refreshments.
