SSAFA Somerset provide advice and support for veterans and service personnel, and their families, in the local community.
So naughty
Fantastic to see the hard work Arc dedicate towards helping the homeless in Taunton and their particular support for veterans at Victory House.
Arc (formerly known as Taunton Association for the Homeless) support rough sleepers and assist them to move forwards to independence.
The event was set up to "eradicate the taboo" surrounding men's mental health.
