Herefordshire Veteran Support Centre
The Festival is pledging 10% of the value of all ticket sales to the Herefordshire Veteran Support Centre
The Herefordshire Veteran Support Centre was established in 2019 to provide support to the county’s large community of former military service personnel. By some estimates, around 25% of Herefordshire’s population has a connection to the military. The HVSC team and volunteers work in partnership with over 40 organisations and charities to provide vital support and service to an ever-increasing network of veterans and their families.
We are proud to support them.
