No veteran should feel disconnected from support.

​

CivDivCIC exists as a veteran engagement hub that connects veterans to community, heritage, and the wider network of support services available across the United Kingdom.

​

In partnership with the West Indian Association of Service Personnel (WASP), we strengthen engagement, preserve heritage, and support better connection to services across the veteran support system.

​

CivDivCIC aligns its work with national efforts to improve coordination and access for veterans, including the principles of Operation VALOUR.

​​

Our approach focuses on connection — creating a trusted space where veterans can engage with one another, remain active within their communities, and access the support available to them through the wider veteran support system. 

​

​Supporting veterans. Strengthening communities. Preserving heritage.

ABOUT US 

​

CivDivCIC is a community-based veteran engagement hub focused on bringing veterans together, strengthening community connections, and supporting access to the wider network of services available across the Armed Forces community.

​

Our role is not to replace existing services, but to act as a community gateway, supporting engagement, connection, and collaboration between veterans and the organisations best placed to assist them.

​

Through our partnership with the West Indian Association of Service Personnel (WASP), CivDivCIC also supports the recognition and preservation of Caribbean and Commonwealth veteran heritage, ensuring these contributions remain visible and valued.
