Thank you to Veterans Connect CIC for inviting me to share in the opening of their new North Staffs HQ in Tunstall, officially opened by my friend and colleague Jonathan Gullis MP.
This new office has been established by a dedicated team of volunteers, veterans themselves. As I said at the ceremony, they have already served their country, and protected all of us: now they are serving their community and protecting some of the most vulnerable in our society.
The work the volunteers have done in transforming the office space in a matter of weeks is superb, and will help them to help more veterans who have fallen on difficult times, particularly those struggling with their mental health.
