Safeguard Engineering's Triathlon Fundraiser for Tom Harrison House

We have a close connection with Tom Harrison House, a charity that provides a specialist addiction recovery programme for UK Armed Forces veterans and emergency services personnel.

And we have an amazing lady taking on the BALA Triathlon in September. Holly Turner is taking part in the Sprint Triathlon. This challenge includes a 750m lake swim, a 20k bike ride and a 5k run. She works hard for Safeguard Engineering, has two young children but is still finding the time to train for the triathlon and fundraise to support the vital work of Tom Harrison House.

Please give as generously as you can to support our hero; Holly.

Tom Harrison House

"We offer a 12-week residential programme of therapies and activities. The programme, designed in consultation with veterans in recovery and the only one of its kind in the UK, is based upon finding a balance between emotional, physical and mental recovery. In the pre-admission stage, we work with all clients to achieve abstinence prior to embarking on the programme.

We work with each client to begin to develop and embed the mindset, resilience and resources, in other words the “recovery capital”, necessary to build a strong, stable and robust ongoing recovery. By providing a supportive community, education, therapies and opportunities for real self-development, the programme works as a foundation for a new life, and not just a way to overcome the immediate issue of physical dependence on drugs or alcohol.

It is through this bespoke model, with an emphasis on the role of co-occurring trauma, safety, confidentiality and camaraderie, as well as reintegration into “civilian” communities, that a community of ex-servicepeople who possess shared experiences, perspectives and resources, is built."
