UCLan students have worked with local veteran charity Dig-in to help make a wooden wreath, poppies and Tommy figures 👏UCLan
Known as the ‘Bloomin’ Marvellous’ project, its mission is to reduce loneliness and isolation within the military and blue light communities by creating a space where veterans can learn new practical skills in gardening and woodwork – and friendship and comradery.Veteran Luke Mulvany works with UCLan psychology student Ebonnie Field.

The student volunteers from psychology or counselling-related courses have joined the project as befrienders to the veterans to broaden their understanding of mental health support. Final year psychology student Ebonnie Field is one of nine student befrienders who volunteered for Bloomin’ Marvellous.
