Shadow veterans minister meets head of veterans charity

Veterans’ welfare was the topic of discussion when Shadow Minister for Veterans and Defense People MP Rachel Hopkins met Veterans Aid CEO Dr Hugh Milroy.

The Labor MP for Luton South said afterwards: “It was very interesting to hear about Veteran’s Aid’s Welfare to Wellbeing© model and its focus on positive outcomes for veterans.”

Dr Milroy said afterwards: “I was delighted that Rachel Hopkins took the time to meet and learn more about our work with ex-servicemen and women in crisis. We had very productive discussions about this. what works and doesn’t work for our clients, and I look forward to exploring the key issues in greater depth when we meet next.”

Ms Hopkins said: ‘I look forward to visiting the charity soon, especially as it is VA’s 90th anniversary year.’

The charity operates from a central London head office/visitor center and a residential facility, New Belvedere House.

Veterans Aid was founded in the aftermath of the First World War, when the UK was in serious economic trouble and homeless veterans were sleeping on the quayside of the River Thames. The charity’s unique Welfare to Wellbeing© model, which explains much of its high success rate in preventing and treating homelessness, has been benchmarked around the world.
