Chi Onwurah MP Mentions Forward Assist In Parliament on Armistice Day 2020

We were delighted that Chi Onwurah MP took the time to mention Forward Assist on 11th November 2020. Forward Assist’s virtual support service came into being in March during the first national lockdown. Since that time, the uptake of veterans accessing ‘one to one’ confidential advice and support has quadrupled with veterans accessing support from as far afield as Holland, France and Germany. Forward Assist are seeking funding to expand this much needed service. See video link: https://twitter.com/ChiOnwurah/status/1326545172897824768/video/1
