Armed Forces day saw the launch of our new Forces of Nature programme. This is a new venture for ex members of the armed forces. It is aimed at helping service personnel re-adjust to community life by providing them with new skills and support.
Jim Long, aged 98 years, picked up the cheque for Nature Therapy CIC from the Ministry of Defence. Jim knows all about the re-adjustments needed when leaving the forces. He was a prisoner of War in Burma during the Second World War. He was a young motorbike despatch rider when he was captured whilst fighting in Singapore. So, only fitting he was escorted to the ceremony in a motorbike group called the SRC. They even used the very same type of motorbike he rode as a young man - a M20. Many thanks to everyone involved for making it such a special event.
