Ramsey Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club CIC aims to provide safe, friendly and informal places for veterans to ‘return to the tribe’ - regain a sense of belonging and enjoy breakfast together in the company of other past and current members of the Armed Forces.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- It provides veterans with an opportunity to regain the camaraderie and sense of belonging they may have missed since leaving the armed forces.
- It provides a space for friendship and understanding among people with similar backgrounds and experiences.
- It provides a welcoming space where people with a military background can find the guidance and support designed just for them.
"The breakfast club is a chance to discover like minded serving and veteran colleagues who have trained with the same type of discipline that makes us who we are, and allows us all to understand the problems that armed conflict causes on our minds and bodies; meeting together at breakfast clubs gives us that release by talking about our experiences that only the armed forces will truly understand."

What to expect
The Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Clubs welcome all serving and former members of HM Forces, along with their immediate family members.
The Ramsey Breakfast Club meets on the third Saturday of each month from 10:00am onwards.
On arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted by Jannette or another club member, who will explain how breakfast works and where to pay. Guests queue up to enjoy a hearty, satisfying breakfast.
The club is always busy and friendly, providing plenty of opportunities to chat and connect with others. Members can also guide you towards local support services if needed.
There’s also a raffle for anyone who wants to join in, with proceeds supporting activities such as group trips.
More information
The national Armed Forces & Veteran’s Breakfast Club provides an umbrella of support for all of the locally-run and organised clubs; the information here is for the one in Ramsey, though you can find clubs in other areas on the national website here.
The Armed Forces & Veteran’s Breakfast Club aims to facilitate links between the local clubs and the main support agencies for veterans, to allow clubs to signpost veterans in need to support agencies when necessary. It is the formal face of the Clubs which allows them to talk to the MoD and other agencies from a common outlook and more.
It is free to join the club, there are no subscription or other fees and no commitments.
Attendees pay for their own breakfast but this is a small amount, with unlimited tea and coffee. However, if you need assistance with this please talk to Jannette.
Occasionally, trips are organised; funds raised from raffles and other sources are used to reduce costs.
