Kitcheners Lowestoft are appealing for donations towards providing an accessible toilet for veterans with any excess donations going towards a complete refurbishment of the ground floor toilets at the Centre. The layout of those toilets has existed since 1919 and was planned for men only at a time when the accommodation was probably not much better than barracks. As time has gone by the other toilet facilities have been improved over the years, first close to the bedrooms and later with all bedrooms having en suite facilities and as a result the ground floor has been left behind as not essential.

Late last year the Kitchener stepped in to take over provision of breakfast to the local branch of the Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club when they lost their venue. The Club keeps veterans in touch with each other and their still serving colleagues. Twice a month breakfast is served to some 35+ local veterans when they gather at the Centre to reminisce and keep up with friends. It is also an opportunity to try and ensure they do not need any further help with regard to their physical or mental health.
