Story
As a GP Practice, we are very proud to be a Veterans Friendly Practice and holders of the Silver Award in the Employee Recognition Scheme having signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
The staff have raised vital funds for a number of armed forces charities in recent years including Scotty's Little Soldiers, Help For Heroes and this year for the Royal British Legion.
We have veterans on on our work force and numerous members of the Armed forces with staff who have husbands/wives/children in active service today.
On 12th April 2024, a large number of staff will brave the cold to sleep out under the stars whilst fundraising for our most vulnerable veterans. The challenge does not replicate rough sleeping, but it will give us an idea of the situation far too many of our nation's heroes find themselves in.
Every £ we raised will help support the estimated 6000 veterans that are experiencing homelessness in the UK right now allowing RBLI to provide safe homes and to support the veterans who need to get back on their feet.
Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) is a national charity. Since 1919 they have provided crucial accommodation, welfare and employment support to injured veterans and people with disabilities. They improve lives every day by inspiring those they help and supporting them to find work and lead independent lives. Right now, for every person they can help, there’s one they can’t.
Please help us support this amazing charity by donating to our fundraising page. Let's stand up for those who stood up for us.
