This community is for older veterans of the three United Kingdom Armed Services and the Merchant Navy. If you miss the comradeship and banter we took for granted as a soldier, sailor or airman then this app is for you. Use the app to find old comrades and make new friends easily in a safe, veteran-only community. Members can remember and share experiences and celebrate the bonds of comradeship unique to our uniformed service as well as navigate life’s challenges together in later life. The community platform allows you to join interest groups and forums, chat with your comrades, participate in on-line events and activities, access helpful content about such things as finance, health and wellbeing, and discover sources of support. As members we want to help you live a better life for longer whatever your circumstances.
