Yorkshire-based financial advisers Navigation Wealth Management<\/a> has handed over a cheque for an incredible \u00a325,000 to veterans\u2019 charity Hull 4 Heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm, part of the St. James\u2019s Place group, worked with Hull 4 Heroes<\/a> to apply for funding from the St. James\u2019s Place Foundation to help fund mental health and wellbeing in the community for ex-armed forces personnel and their families struggling to adapt to life after a career in the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Hammond<\/a>, Chief Executive at Navigation Wealth, which has offices in Beverley and Wakefield, said the money will help fund and support the Veterans\u2019 drop-in centre in Princes Quay Hull, which is now up and running and already changing lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud to be able to support such a tremendous charity in the local area.  We can\u2019t underestimate what a difference Hull 4 Heroes is making to veterans in the community. This donation will make a huge difference and provide much needed services for years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many veterans returning from service find themselves adrift from society and become homeless.  The Hull 4 Heroes charity aims to ensure that they have all the support they need to transition back into civilian life.  That includes creating homes and providing education as well as sourcing employment opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charity\u2019s Founder, Paul Matson BEM<\/a>, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are absolutely overjoyed at this amazing donation and want to say a massive thank you to Matt Hammond and Navigation Wealth Management for supporting us with our application to the St. James Place Charitable Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur veterans now have a place to meet up, instead of staying home alone.  They are forming friendships, rebuilding their lives and remembering that so important camaraderie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have now had over 200 members of the Armed Forces Community coming through the doors with repeat visits on a daily or weekly basis.  Two examples include a veteran who now comes in every day for a coffee and a game of dominoes with our volunteers.  He has a very ill wife, who he cares for, and this is his only respite each day.  We have another female veteran who has not left her house in months due to ill health and anxiety who now calls our drop-in centre her \u2018second safe space.\u2019  The Veterans Hub is really making a difference, so thank you again for your ongoing support of our Armed Forces community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hull 4 Heroes is also developing a Veterans\u2019 Village to develop a self-sustaining site for the housing and rehabilitation of ex-service men and women, on a scale never seen before.  Matt Hammond continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNavigation Wealth and Hull 4 Heroes have formed close allegiances over the years and we are proud to work with such an amazing charity.  We hope to continue to assist in supporting many more worthwhile projects for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
