No veteran should feel disconnected from support.

​

CivDivCIC is a community-based veteran engagement organisation and the delivery arm of

a partnership with the West Indian Association of Service Personnel (WASP), connecting veterans to community, heritage, and specialist support services.

​

​ABOUT US 

​

CivDivCIC is the dedicated veteran engagement  organisation working alongside The West Indian Association of Service Personnel (WASP), focused on connecting veterans to community, heritage, and support.

We work collaboratively with veteran organisations, local authorities, and community groups.

​

.

HERITAGE

​

We recognise and preserve the service of Caribbean and Commonwealth veterans.

BLACK VETERANS ENGAGEMENT HUB

​

CivDivCIC is developing a Black Veterans Engagement Hub in partnership with the West Indian Association of Service Personnel (WASP).

This hub provides a structured space for engagement, connection, and collaboration, supporting veterans while remaining inclusive of the wider Armed Forces community.

 

The hub focuses on:

​

• Strengthening veteran engagement

• Building community connection

• Supporting access to the wider support network

• Preserving and sharing heritage

 

CivDivCIC does not deliver specialist services. Instead, it acts as a trusted engagement gateway, connecting veterans to the organisations best placed to support their needs.
