Supporting Prisoners and their Families
In 2004 the Veterans Policy Unit led an initiative to support Veterans who were serving a prison sentence and their dependants. The aim of the ongoing initiative is to reduce re-offending within the ex-Service community. Working in partnership with the Royal British Legion we have successfully assisted clients and their families with immediate needs, essential household items, children’s clothing and practical advice and information on housing and resettlement. We cannot make cash grants or provide legal support. More information...
