Veterans and their families from across north Wales are invited to attend an informal gathering in Caernarfon aimed at providing former members of the armed forces with support, advice, and an opportunity to connect with others in the community.
The event is being organised by Dwyfor Meirionnydd Member of Parliament, the Rt Hon. Liz Saville Roberts MP who has been working closely with local veterans’ charities and representatives.
The informal and family-friendly event will allow veterans and their families to socialise, network, and seek advice on specific matters. A number of organisations dedicated to supporting veterans will be in attendance, including Help for Heroes, Citizens Advice, Woody’s Lodge, SSAFA, British Legion, and Veterans Commissioner for Wales, offering advice and practical assistance.
The event will take place on Saturday, 7th February 2026, at Porthi Dre, Caernarfon, between 12:00pm and 3:00pm. A light lunch and refreshments will also be provided to those attending.
Commenting ahead of the event, Liz Saville Roberts MP said:
Caernarfon has a long history of supporting those who have served in the Armed Forces, and I am committed to respecting that tradition. In Parliament, I seek to raise the rights and welfare of veterans, particularly in relation to mental health support, housing and health in general, and this event is another way to ensure that practical support reaches those who need it most. Yet many Veterans continue to face challenges long after their service ends, whether navigating complex support systems, managing health concerns, or simply finding spaces where they feel understood and valued. Rural areas like northwest Wales can present additional hurdles, making community-based support all the more important. This event is about creating a space where people can come together, share experiences, and access help from trusted organisations. I want to thank Veterans’ support services and charities such as Help for Heroes, Woody’s Lodge, and SSAFA for their commitment to attend this event and for the incredible work they do supporting veterans and their families across Gwynedd and beyond. Their dedication makes a real difference to people’s lives, and I’m pleased to work alongside them to promote this vital support. I look forward to welcoming Veterans and their families to this event.
