The service has been set up in memory of JohnPaul Finnigan who sadly lost his life through suicide in 2018. JohnPaul a brave Liverpool soldier from Huyton had completed a number of tours overseas in war ravaged areas serving proudly with the 2nd Battalion the Rifles. Upon leaving the Army JohnPaul suffered greatly with mental health and trauma issues and even lost close friends through their own PTSD struggles. JohnPauls story highlighted the further need for support of our returning veterans and challenges that are faced after being involved in such distressing situations.

Paul Growney CEO of Caring Connections stated ''We are very proud to launch this service and hopefully it can provide a further support mechanism to those returning home and struggling with civilian life. The story of JohnPaul has really touched our organisation and we honoured to dedicate this service to his name.''

We also run a project under the name '' The Barbara Battle Foundation '' Which helps people grieving through a suicide. 

We offer free counselling for those who come forward and organising different social events.
