Jack met with Bradley Stoke Town Councillor Franklin Owusu-Antwi to discuss the work he is doing as a member of the South West Veterans Advisory & Pensions Committee. With lots of support available for veterans, the major issue currently is efficiently signposting those in need to groups that can help.
Formerly known as the War Pensions Committees, the Veterans Advisory & Pensions Committee advise and liaise with veterans, their families and relevant organisations on their needs, issues and concerns. They assist, raise awareness, act as advocates and provide governance to the veterans’ community, and champion the rights of veterans and their families where there is injustice, inequality or a lack of fairness.
Jack have committed to meeting with Councillor Owusu-Antwi regularly to learn about his progress and offering my support to help former service men and women.
