PEOPLE in the armed forces, veterans and their families are being invited to attend regular support sessions in Leigh.

Shoulder to Soldier, a charity supporting armed forces families across the UK that is based on Church Street in Leigh, will hold the drop-in sessions on the first and third Tuesday of every month starting.

They will be held at the Tesco Extra Community Room at The Loom from 6pm to 9pm, with the first session being on Tuesday, October 3.

Shoulder to Soldier trustee Angela Coates said: “Since the launch of the charity we have been inundated with requests for help and support from local veterans and veterans from all over the country.

“We will try to help veterans and armed forces families in any way we can, so please feel free to pop in for a cuppa and a chat.”
