Breakfast Club Conditions

All Services Veterans (If you can cope with the banter) all clubs are open to all members and visiting guest.

Guidance:
a) The Breakfast Clubs are not a business/charity and should be run so there is no financial gain to any person/organisation, if this is the case then you should let the members know and the National Administrators, they should be run "BY Veterans FOR Veterans".

b) There should be no prejudice or different treatment of any member due to race, sex, physical ability, age or ability, ANY bullying/harassment by ANY person may result in being removed from the National Organisation.

c) The Breakfast Clubs are for veterans and anyone who tries to impersonate a veteran or serving member of H.M Forces will be asked to provide further information about their service, we DO NOT tolerate 'Walt’s' and we will exclude, expose and block that person from attending any other Breakfast Club.

d) Sometimes non-veterans are accepted but this is under the agreement of the Breakfast Club Admins, they should remain as a guest and should not be consulted when it comes to making decisions on how the Breakfast Club should be run this is down to the Veterans and the Admins of the Breakfast Club.

e) Finally, the nature of military service involves a lot of laughs and humor resulting in posts that are not as some may see politically correct. However, please refrain from sharing posts of a sexual nature, sexist, racist or homophobic which are not deemed acceptable and will be removed. Persistent offenders may be removed from the Facebook page.

f) There are always a few things that should not be discussed because they always cause arguments these are politics and religion these are your views and should be your own business you can have political views but do not express them and do not try to force your views onto others.

Information About Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Clubs

Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Clubs are informal, community-based gatherings that provide a supportive and social environment for current and former members of the armed forces to meet, connect, and share their experiences. These clubs are typically organized by volunteers and are open to all branches of the military, regardless of rank or service history. They are an important part of the military and veteran support network in many countries, including the United Kingdom.

Here are some key aspects of Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Clubs:

  1. Casual and Informal Setting: The clubs usually meet in local cafes, pubs, or other informal venues, often for breakfast. This relaxed environment encourages camaraderie and conversation among attendees.
  2. Inclusive: These clubs are inclusive and welcoming to veterans from all generations, conflicts, and branches of the military, as well as their families and friends.
  3. Social Connection: The primary purpose of these clubs is to provide veterans with a social network where they can interact, share stories, and support each other. Loneliness and social isolation can be significant challenges for veterans, and these clubs help combat those issues.
  4. Peer Support: Veterans often find it easier to connect with and confide in their fellow service members. These clubs offer a valuable peer support network, where individuals can discuss their experiences and challenges with others who have had similar experiences.
  5. Mental Health and Well-being: Building on the idea of peer support, these clubs can be a valuable resource for veterans struggling with mental health issues like PTSD or depression. Being in a supportive, understanding environment can make it easier for individuals to seek help when needed.
  6. Charity and Fundraising: Many Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Clubs also engage in charitable activities to support veterans, their families, and their communities. They may organize fundraisers, charity events, or community service projects to give back.
  7. Sense of Belonging: For many veterans, the sense of belonging to a community or group of like-minded individuals can be therapeutic. These clubs help to reinforce that sense of belonging, bridging the gap between military service and civilian life.
  8. Comradery: The camaraderie and bonds formed in these clubs can help veterans transition more smoothly to civilian life, as they provide a sense of purpose and connection that may be missing after leaving the military.
