‘More confident’

Its website says it “transforms the lives of veterans and serving military personnel living with injury, illness or isolation”.

“We run a varied year-round programme of social events, day outings, respite and challenge breaks around the UK and aboard, and prestige royal events at Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace.

“These events improve physical and mental health, reduce isolation and loneliness, build self-esteem and re-establish the camaraderie and peer support for those who desperately miss that sense of belonging.”

It adds that this enables “beneficiaries and their families to live a happier, more sociable and more confident life”.

Gaz Jenkins hosts Sunday Night at the Grand, which also features the Showcase international dancers.

The event is in conjunction with Tower Top Entertainments and the Lyndene Hotel, Jimmy Cricket’s fabourite Blackpool hotel.
