Veterans & The Community

Combating Loneliness & Social Isolation for Veterans & Community Members

We help service veterans and those in the wider community by getting them engaged in a variety of art projects.

We passionately believe that art and culture can improve health, wellbeing, and overall quality of life.

'Empowering people and enriching the community through social engagement, art, and creativity'

At The VC Gallery, we provide a service that will improve the welfare and support for armed forces veterans and the wider community throughout Pembrokeshire, responding to their needs as quickly and efficiently as possible in an empathetic manner that engages with them, to support and assist with their particular needs and entitlements.

Founded by Army veteran Barry John MBE in 2013, today's organisation has grown massively since it's humble beginnings. It is supported by Steph Cross (Project Manager), Kevin Stanley, Josh Simmons (Military Peer Mentors), and a strong team of volunteers. From our two drop-in locations in Haverfordwest and Pembroke Dock, we offer help and support through creative active engagement to people of all ages, with mental and physical disabilities, and to those who may be suffering from social isolation.
