The Borough of Bury Veterans Association (BOBVA) was formed in 2017. Our first meeting was held, 5th February 2017 at Yates Bar in Bury with 43 people in attendance.
Since then the Association has grown from strength to strength with just short of 200 fully paid members and has had to move its meetings to the Fishpool Liberal Club on the first Sunday of each month.
The Association was established to provide:
Assistance to veterans and their dependants by providing a social and support network unifying all three Services in the Borough of Bury, and surrounding areas.
Veteran presence at established parades in the Borough of Bury.
Raise funds to support veterans & veterans charities in the Borough of Bury.
Provide a social environment including visits, events and trips for veterans and like minded people to further a sense of “belonging” within both the veteran and wider community as a whole.
