PL1 Civvy Street opens its doors to Plymouth’s veterans at The Hub at Foulston Park this weekend

PL1 Civvy Street is delighted to be part of the brand-new Hub at Foulston Park, a sports, wellbeing and community centre set to open its doors officially on Monday 17th March 2025. Ahead of the grand opening, the community is invited to an open weekend on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th March, where they can explore the facilities and experience first-hand what The Hub has to offer.

As a dedicated charity focused on offering guidance and signposting to service leavers in need of support, PL1 Civvy Street will play a vital role at The Hub, connecting veterans with the right services to help them transition smoothly into civilian life.

Jamie Gibbs, founder of PL1 Civvy Street and a former Royal Marine, understands first-hand the challenges of reintegration after military service. His vision for the charity is to bridge the gap between service life and civilian success, ensuring that veterans can access the right support at the right time.

“We are incredibly excited to be part of this vibrant new hub” says Jamie. “PL1 Civvy Street is not just a place, it’s a community. At The Hub we will be providing a safe and welcoming space for veterans to come together, find guidance and take their next steps with confidence.”

As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting veterans, PL1 Civvy Street will also be hosting a Winter Wonderland fundraising gala on 22 November 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Plymouth. Funds raised will go towards furthering initiatives that empower veterans to build stable and fulfilling lives after service.
