POSITIVE VIBES

A group of former personnel are hoping to promote an upbeat vibe around veteran life with the launch of a new community interest company.

Set up to connect the wider family and bring balance, pride and positivity, Veterans Can offers an online forum for chat and where members can assist each other.

As well as promoting networking, the scheme gives individuals a say on how the outfit’s funding pot is spent, plus access to offers from supporting businesses.

Co-founder Garrath Williams, who served as an officer with The Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, said:

“Everything we do is in the interest of the community — it’s a social enterprise putting members in the driving seat.

“As veterans, our shared background is unique as is the thread that pulls us together — we think it matters that we have control and write our own narrative.”
