More North East veterans transforming their lives thanks to national lottery players

Ex-Forces personnel in County Durham are being given the skills and confidence to improve their lives thanks to national lottery players.

Local charity, Finchale’s “Reaching Communities” project supports veterans with mental health, homelessness, training and employment issues that have led to social isolation.

The three year project which was awarded £487,000 of national lottery funding in 2016 helps those that have previously served in the Armed Forces by providing customised packages of ongoing support within the community and aims to support over 200 individuals throughout the project.
