Did you know there is some amazing work going on at the VALOUR Recognised Centre.

Esh Construction have been busy at work transforming an old shower room into a brand new counselling suite for our counselling program. The transformation has been unbelievable so far and they are not finished yet.

As well as totally transforming this area, putting in walls, flooring, spot lights etc they are also going to fully furnish the area making it comfortable and a safe space for our service users.

Darran from Esh has headed this up, a veteran himself has taken this area and totally transformed the area. Darran from all of us at EDVT thank you!

Great to see the guys down the allotment working hard to erect the new fence funded by Believe Housing Limited. this is all part of our social inclusion funding we received from Believe towards the end of last year.

This amazing support has allowed us to buy various items for several of our groups and to be able to deliver for the Veterans and their families.

Funday Friday's just get better and better.

As you all know we always welcome dogs into the Veterans Trust and we are delighted to say we are introducing The Pet Salon to East Durham Veterans Trust.

On Friday 23rd October we will be joined by the Pet Salon who will be offering dog grooming for as little as £20 per dog.

You must book your slot for your four legged little friends as we have capacity for 18 dogs on this day. To book please message the page and we will allocate you a time slot.

All we ask is that you bath your dog the night before as we dont have capability to do that on the day.
