A brighter future
for veterans
and their
families.

I decided to put in a walk in shower. Being a Veteran myself I approached the Veterans Association for a grant after talking to friends who are also Veterans.

I filled in the required paperwork as requested and returned. The paperwork stated that I would have a decision within 28 days. I did in fact receive a decision in 48 hours which was approved.

The plumber starts work next Monday the 27th. All I can say on behalf of my wife Jackie and me is many, many thanks.

I will follow up with photos later.

Instead of asking "what do you need" they asked me what I wanted to achieve. Then they asked what the barriers were and set about finding ways they could help me to move forward.

A laptop was hand delivered not long after our conversation. This enabled me to achieve level 1 and 2 Makaton training and I am currently on a level 2 mentoring course until January, then a level 2 counselling course.

They also provided assessment for autism and ADHD. Age 52 I finally had a diagnosis. It's difficult to put into words the impact this has had on my life. It’s like I have permission to be myself.

I still face struggles, however the support of this charity has already changed my life. Thank you.
