In October 2022, I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with triple amputee and Afghan war veteran Andy Reid. Andy and I are both veterans who have served together and I look forward to standing alongside him once more. 

Andy’s wars may be over, but his campaigning continues, this time the enemy is social issues, including homelessness, debt management, relationships and mental health. 

I now work for Menzies Distribution (www.menziesdistribution.com) and as a business, we are committed to being an Armed Forces-friendly organisation and supporting the employment of veterans. Partnering with the Standing Tall Foundation we proactively offer training and employment to ex-services personnel and those who find themselves in difficult situations.

The Standing Tall Foundation plays a fundamental role in supporting local communities and the mental and physical health of all community groups, through the provision of counselling, addiction support and physical activity initiatives. 

They further extend this support into the community to help those in financial hardship, including the homeless, via the provision of grants, items and services using the resources secured by the Foundation or those made available.
