Operation Black Buck

Charity Live Stream Event

Founded in 2016, ESVH provides vital support for veterans of HM Forces and Blue Light Services across East Sussex, United Kingdom. Entirely volunteer-run, the hub offers weekly drop-ins, wellbeing sessions, addiction support, and assistance for those affected by PTSD or involvement with the criminal justice system. The organisation now seeks to expand its efforts through a bold new initiative – the transformation of a disused building into a recovery centre, complete with a café, offices, and flats to house and rehabilitate homeless veterans. For more details, please watch ESVH Op Black Buck.

To help raise funds for this next chapter, ESVH volunteers, including ex-military personnel and sim enthusiasts will be flying a hand-built simulator in a live stream charity event inspired by Operation Black Buck, the legendary RAF bombing mission of 1 May 1982.

The event will commence on the 3rd of May 2025, 18:00 GMT. UKppeters and the greater DCS Community will embark on a mission recreating the legendary Operation Black Buck, the daring long-range bombing raids carried out during the Falklands War.

All proceeds from this event go directly to supporting the wellbeing, community programs, and ongoing needs of veterans across East Sussex, UK. Thank you for standing with us, for remembering the past, and for helping build a stronger future for those who’ve served.

Your donation will directly support the refurbishment of ESVH’s new centre. This provides shelter, community and a recovery path for those who served and are now facing homelessness. Let’s fly for something greater. Join us. Support them. Learn more and donate during the livestream!

Thank you again for your passion and support,  Yours sincerely,

[Beirut]

I like seeing C-130s. Gives me hope. 

[MAXsenna]

Now, I wanna know what setup did you get from WW and NLR? And did WW travel all the way from China, or are they setting up shop in Europe?  

[sapper1971]

On behalf of ESVH, we cannot thank you enough for supporting us in this way. We truly appreciate the community; it has always been warm and welcoming. This mention in the news article will no doubt create a massive interest in this fundraising effort and help us get into the new building, hopefully much quicker. On completion, this should get up to 25 UK veterans off the streets and into secure accommodation with full support for up to two years at a time. Special thanks has to go to OzDeaDMeat he has worked tirelessly on this in the background as have many others who I will thank tomorrow. Once again, thank you all for your support it means the world to us.

 

Regards

Paul.
