Veterans mark D-Day anniversary

50 veterans recently made a special trip to National Memorial Arboretum to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The County Council organised the visit as part of its Veterans Together scheme, where groups of veterans aged over 65 meet around the county to socialise and take part in activities and commemorative projects.

Since the scheme was launched in June 2017, projects have included photography, gardening and cookery sessions. There are currently four groups running in Beeston, Mansfield, Netherfield and Worksop.

There are a range of groups and services to help people who are experiencing loneliness, as well as information about keeping safe and support with daily tasks. You can also do your bit for others by keeping a look out for neighbours, friends and family members who may be experiencing loneliness.
