What the petition asks
Many armed forces veterans are faced with harrowing and distressing circumstances in the line of duty.Organisations such as Salute in Burnley Lancashire provide support and counselling to Lancashire armed forces Veterans and are not funded appropriately.Veterans need our support.
Services such as Salute in Burnley Lancashire provide support and counselling for armed forces veterans.In order to survive they need to be funded appropriately.This year they were given £20,000 less than the previous year and yet have a greater demand and an expanding waiting list.The demand for these services is high and the funding is lacking.Support our brave soldiers in the aftercare they deserve.
