Veterans VirtualHub – A Safe Space for Veterans, Run by Veterans

For many veterans, the hardest part of seeking support is knowing where to start. Sometimes what is needed is not another form to complete or another organisation to contact, but simply a friendly voice, a listening ear, and someone who understands military life.

That is exactly what the Veterans VirtualHub was created to provide.

Operated by Forces Online, the Veterans VirtualHub is a veteran-to-veteran online service that offers a safe, welcoming environment where veterans can connect, chat, seek advice, access support, and engage with others from across the Armed Forces community.

More Than Just an Online Chat Room

The Veterans VirtualHub is designed to bring veterans together in a supportive and respectful environment.

Whether you want to:

Have a bit of Squaddie Banter

Ask for information or advice

Discuss welfare concerns

Request support

Attend meetings or training sessions

Access mentoring or counselling

Reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation

the VirtualHub provides a place where help is only a click away.

Accessible Anywhere

One of the greatest strengths of the Veterans VirtualHub is its accessibility.

The service can be accessed from:

Desktop computers

Laptops

Tablets

Mobile phones

There is no need to travel, no need to make an appointment, and no complicated process. Simply join the VirtualHub during opening hours and speak to a live veteran operator.

Veteran-Led Support

Forces Online was created by veterans for veterans, and the VirtualHub reflects that philosophy.

Many members of the team have lived experience of military service and understand the unique challenges that can arise during and after the transition to civilian life. This shared experience helps build trust and encourages veterans to engage with support services that may benefit them.

Supporting the Whole Armed Forces Community

The Veterans VirtualHub is not just for veterans.

Support may also be available to:

Serving personnel

Reservists

Family members

Dependants

The aim is to ensure that nobody within the Armed Forces community feels isolated, unsupported, or unsure where to turn for help.

Working Alongside Trusted Organisations

The VirtualHub forms part of the wider Forces Online support network and works alongside charities, welfare providers, community groups, and specialist organisations across the United Kingdom.

The service is also a Turn2Us service provider, helping connect people with appropriate support when financial hardship or other challenges arise.

A Community That Understands

Sometimes the most valuable support comes from speaking to someone who simply understands.

The Veterans VirtualHub combines modern technology with genuine human interaction, creating a safe online environment where veterans can connect, share experiences, support one another, and access practical assistance when needed.

Join the Veterans VirtualHub

The Veterans VirtualHub is available throughout the week and can be accessed from virtually any smart device.
