Rick Harrington (pictured with Nick Thompson) who runs the organisation said, ‘“Our new centre opens in January 2013 supporting Veterans and their families. As a registered charity we deliver employment support, housing and health advice, plus raise the awareness of issues affecting social integration that can affect some ex-forces personnel and their families. Communication is critical and when NEC became aware of our project they asked how they could help.”
He continues, “NEC have very kindly donated a fantastic new telephone system that will make a great difference to the lives of hundreds of people.”
Nick Thompson added, “We identified this as a great cause and the telecoms industry has always had strong links with the armed forces. The system will be used by the ex-forces personnel themselves, helping them find employment and getting their lives back on track.”
