Das Snax
Veterans Brew and Banter
TCD, in proud partnership with Das Snax and Help For Heroes, were delighted to introduce Brew & Banter – a welcoming monthly Veterans Coffee Afternoon designed to bring former service personnel together in a relaxed and supportive environment. They were Held on the last Friday of every month from 12:00 to 2:00 PM at Jo Cox House in Batley, these gatherings were all about creating a space where veterans could unwind, enjoy a brew, and connect with others who understand the unique experiences that come with military life.
Veterans joined us looking for a light-hearted chat, meaningful conversation, or simply the comfort of a warm drink and friendly faces, Brew & Banter offered an inclusive and informal setting. The afternoons were completely free to attend, with refreshments provided courtesy of our generous partners.

Luke’s Lads Veterans is a dedicated mental health and wellbeing group designed specifically for male veterans of the armed forces. We recognise the unique challenges faced by those who have served – from adjusting to civilian life to managing physical and psychological trauma – and we aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where veterans can connect, talk, and rebuild a sense of purpose and belonging.
Each session combines light physical activity with open, peer-led conversations around mental health, wellbeing, and life beyond the military. There’s no pressure to talk – just an invitation to be part of a supportive community that understands the importance of brotherhood, mutual respect, and shared experience.
Led by veterans, for veterans, Luke’s Lads Veterans offers a space to focus on both physical and emotional resilience. Whether you're looking to improve your wellbeing, meet like-minded people, or simply find a place to feel understood, you're always welcome here.
At TCD, our mission is simple: to create safe, inclusive spaces where veterans feel heard, supported, and empowered — and these partnerships are a vital part of making that happen.
