Set up in 2007 to support those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Help for Heroes now works with veterans and their families from across the UK Armed Forces — supporting 5,229 people in 2024-25, with more than 6,100 veterans estimated to live in Broadland alone. Simone Ward writes about her work as a community builder in the area, and about the Coltishall drop-in café, where no sign-up is needed. First Thursday of each month at Coltishall Village Hall 10am-1pm.
