Feedback from our beneficiaries:
“Outstanding! Done with compassion and terrific organising ability"
"Words cannot express how wonderful your service is and how lucky we are to have you. Everyone we have had contact with has been so kind and understanding"
“I feel the veterans service is doing a first-class job. As a veteran we have been used to a lot of personal contact and companionship, at later period in life when you lose close friends and family loneliness becomes a big problem and the veterans service really helped to stop this”
