The FirstLight café hub’s official opening was attended last week by local councillor and Hawick Provost Watson McAteer, MP John Lamont, charity trustee Lady Jane Grosvenor and veterans.
“Civvy Street can be a lonely place for ex-military and people who’ve worked in the police, fire and ambulance services,” says Dorinda Wolfe Murray, founder of FirstLight Trust. “Our café hubs are designed to be a friendly spot to enjoy a chance to meet up and chat whilst enjoying coffee and cake.”
