Ex sErvicEs charity to host pop up EvEnt at crystal pEaks

Military veterans charity Sheffield Ex Services Home Mess is coming to Crystal Peaks this September.

Launched in 2015, Home Mess is a group of veterans who meet on a monthly basis to foster comradeship within civil life, offering an informal and relaxed space for ex service personnel returning to Sheffield and giving advice on the help and support available available. The pop up event at Crystal Peaks on September 9, 10 and 11 will include a fundraising table top sale and also a chance to talk and pick up information about the work the organisation is doing with ex service personnel from all four branches of the military. “We know there are many ex service people throughout Sheffield who have probably never even heard of us or know anything about what we are trying to achieve,” said spokesman Tony Cooper. “We are a charity that looks after the problems that may occur for ex service people when they are back in civvy street.We make no recognition of people’s situation other than the fact that they need help and we aim to put them in touch with the people who can provide that help. We are hoping that our presence at Crystal Peaks will introduce us to many more of the people we aim to be supporting.”
