Forward Assist Nominated Charity At The North East HR&D Awards Night

On the 6th June 2024 I was invited to attend the North East HR&D Awards Night at The Fed in Gateshead. Myself and Brian Hegarty (Trustee) were made to feel truly welcome and during the course of the event the organisers played a two minute video to the 450 guests which outlined Forward Assists mission supporting veterans going forwards into 2025 and beyond. I was astonished to learn that, on the night, the event raised over £2800 which we have put towards our forthcoming combat veterans research trip to Washington DC in September this year. The wonderful team from The North East Times came out to deliver the cash donations and hear more about the ground-breaking work of this North East charity. On behalf of the Trustees and those we seek to serve, we thank you all for your generosity.
