A veteran’s charity is calling for support from the people of West Norfolk in a bid to recruit more volunteers.
Bridge for Heroes is now teaming up with the Veterans Foundation to reach more isolated people – but to do this, they need support.
A Bridge for Heroes spokesperson has said their “mission has always been clear – to support the armed forces community and ensure that no veteran or their family feels alone”.
The Veterans Foundation has provided much-needed funding for transport to drop-in care centres, allowing more access to vital support.
However, this cannot be done alone, and Bridge for Heroes is now looking for volunteer drivers who can spare a few hours to help take veterans to and from their support centre.
A spokesperson for the charity said: “Just a few hours of your time could help change a life – keeping our veterans connected, supported, and reminded that they are never alone.
“Your time and kindness could mean that an isolated veteran gets to spend an afternoon with friends, have a cup of tea and a chat, or access important services that they might otherwise go without.”
If you think you can help, Bridge for Heroes would love to hear from you.
