Sacro's Veterans Mentoring Service staff had a great day celebrating Volunteer's Week with the armed forces charity, SSAFA Lanarkshire, and a presentation to champion fundraiser and friend of the SSAFA Branch, Andy Lockhart. Andy, a veteran himself, formerly 40th Regiment RA (The Lowland Gunners) is pictured here with some of the branch members and other guests who kindly joined us on the day. He is a real fundraising warrior, raising thousands of pounds for SSAFA Lanarkshire Branch, giving so generously of his time and always supporting others in the veteran community – thank you!
Andy is pictured here, with friends of the branch, Marty Carmichael (on the left), formerly Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and Veterans Mentor for Be-inn Unity, together with Brian Kelly (on the right), formerly 19th Regiment Royal Artillery, from Sacro, Veterans Mentoring Service. They both shared their extraordinary soldier's stories with the branch - so inspirational and clearly showed why they are so passionate about the work that they do for veterans in our community.
