Armed Forces veterans centre moves into new home inside Arndale

The new Bay Veterans Association hub opened in the Arndale this week

A meeting place for veterans of the Armed Forces has moved into a new home inside the Arndale shopping centre.

The Bay Veterans Association was forced to relocate from its previous home on the Euston Road precinct after a major roof leak.

The team has been clearing everything from its former location and setting up just a short distance away in a larger space inside the former Game shop in the Arndale.

The group recently welcomed its 400th member and has become renowned across the North West for helping veterans of the Forces.

The Bay Veterans Association supports those who have served in any of the branches of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army, Royal Air Force and emergency services, their families and the wider community who maybe struggling or having difficulties.

The hub opened in 2023 opposite the Travelodge, in the former Lancaster and Morecambe College training centre.

The Association was set up last year by Gary Kniveton, a retired sports teacher and ex-Royal Marine.
