Welcome to our Armed Forces hub, a place for veterans looking for information and support. The hub has been made by veterans of the Armed Forces, family of serving soldiers, sailors, air force personnel and veterans, reservists and clinical staff who work with veterans.
We are passionate, we care and we want to make a difference.
Update from Hannah Crawford, director of therapies and Armed Forces Network chair:
“I am proud that we were awarded the silver award for the Armed Forces Covenant employer recognition scheme. Our commitment is solid, as we recently submitted evidence for our renewal, and it was great to see the progress we are making in this area.
The Trust executive directors, non-executive directors and governors are fully committed to the Trust’s responsibilities as an organisation who have signed the Covenant and received Veterans Aware Silver Status. We have recruited two governors to sit on our Armed Forces steering group who come specifically with an Armed Forces/veterans perspective.
Specialist veterans training is now being delivered to staff by Help for Heroes called Veterans Moving Forward and is led by Tracey Chapman (operations manager, Recovery College). Poppy Danahay (IAPT team manager) and Beverley Bainbridge (N&G senior business coordinator) have already undertaken the course and will be delivering it to veterans.”
