Story
Establishing Soldiers Cleaning Services 4 years ago was orignarly to stop the usual attitude of "all about profits" & be a company which cared about its clients. The name came from an uncle ex serviceman in Black Watch which died & it showed lack of agknowledgement or empathy generally towards this sacrifice from the general public & businesses & set out to be different. As well as being recommended by channel 5 "Britain's Best Home" & voted "Best In Warrington" by ThreeBestRated.com, we have continued to support local charities & fundraising along with sponsoring Royal Regiment Of Fusiliers.
Choosing to be different, our office is based within old RAF Padgate site within the flats in which we came to know John White. Whether it was visiting neighbours or wathing the office dog play outside, he was always a happy soul. sadly John died on 31 October 2016 suddenly & the more time that passes, the sadder the story of his life becomes.
John White an ex veteran &, a tenant living on old RAF Padgate site within Warrington.. Due to no immediate family John does have a funeral scheduled for January 2017 howevery due to lack of £700, his friends & neighbours will not be allowed to attend & most importantly not receive the goodbye he deserves. He will be subject to a "basic funeral" which is disgusting & hurtful for such a gentle man.
As a company at Christmas we always arrange a funraise & this year this will be for John. A Christmas dinner has been aranged Free Of Charge on 21 December 2016 for all ex veterans & their families with a raffle & proceeds to his funeral costs.
Please help u's to raise the £700 required to arrange a touching goodbye. if we are lucky to exceed this amount then this will be put towards flowers, memorials etc.
Many Thanks & Merry Christmas
