St Neots' 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 brings veterans together, allowing them to share camaraderie with others who truly understand what they’ve been through.
- It’s a chance for veterans to feel part of a supportive community again, restoring some of the belonging that can be lost after leaving service.
- It’s a place to get the advice, assistance, and support that understands the unique experiences of Armed Forces personnel.
"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."

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 St Neots, 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 Terry.
Occasionally, trips are organised; funds raised from raffles and other sources are used to reduce costs.
