Active Plus is delighted to have received 3 years funding from the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver the Veterans Inspiring People project.
The Veterans Inspiring People project aligns with the overall Active Plus aims as it will ultimately improve community cohesion as it places veterans and the wider community at the heart of its delivery.
The project aims to engage with, and improve the lives of people in the Cornish community who are inactive and therefore at higher risk of social isolation, ill-health and poor wellbeing.
Wounded, injured and sick military veterans will act as inspirational role models within the community as they build confidence, increase resilience and promote inclusion for all, therefore improving the lives of local people, as well as their own. The project will reduce isolation, increase overall health and wellbeing and will align the community with the community’s resources.
Active Plus Managing Director, Laura Truckle said: “We are very grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for awarding the Veterans Inspiring People project to Active Plus. This project is based on a concept that was originally proposed by the organisations Founder, Tim Cocks. The project will build on 13 years of successful delivery in the community and will improve the lives of countless people across Cornwall.”
Initially working in the Falmouth and Penryn area the project will launch on Tuesday 2nd April 2024.
Active Plus are actively recruiting for team members to work on this project. See the Work For Us section of our website for more details.
