VINT - Veterans In Need Together

24/12/2025

🎄 A huge Merry Christmas from everyone at VINT 🎄

We want to wish all our members, facilitators, supporters, and the wider VINT family a very happy Christmas. Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting one another throughout the year ❤️🖤

For anyone who finds Christmas a difficult time, please remember there’s no right or wrong way to get through it. Take the pressure off yourself and do whatever feels easiest and safest for you. That’s more than enough. You’re not alone.

And to our VINT kids — we’re pretty sure you’re all firmly on the nice list, so we hope Santa pays you a visit 🎅✨

Take care of yourselves and each other.

❤️🖤 As our raffle prize from the light switch on has gone unclaimed, we’ve decided to donate the toys to a local charity.

holbeck_together support over 60 families in Holbeck, and these toys will now be going to children in families who may be struggling – not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.

They do an amazing job helping local families in lots of different ways. Of course, we’d have loved for the winner to come forward, but we’re just as happy knowing the toys will help bring smiles to some little faces. 🎁😊

❤️🖤This week we had our incredible facilitator/counsellor back with us at our Morley group and we just wanted to give him a massive shout-out

Many of you know Mark recently went through his second leg amputation. Most people would take time out to rest and heal and no one would blame them. But not our Mark. Even through his own challenges, he’s still been right there on the phone offering support, guidance and a listening ear to our members. His dedication is something else. Truly unwavering. ❤️

He reminds us every day what resilience looks like. A real inspiration who shows us that no matter how tough life gets, we can keep going and come out stronger on the other side.

Thank you for being you, Mark. For supporting us. For inspiring us. We’re proud to have you back with your VINT family.

A massive thank you to everyone who come over to our stall, played our spinning wheel and showed your support, without every single one of you we couldn’t do our bit to help veterans improve their mental health.

A massive congratulations to the lady who won our top prize on our spinning wheel.

And a final thank you to our members that stood with me all day in the pouring down rain, helped set everything up and pack everything away, nothing better than raising money alongside members who’ve become friends
