Citrica commitment to Veterans Aid

Two organisations with a shared commitment to community wellbeing and delivery of outstanding service have joined forces.

MD of Citrica Danny Buckley said  "Citrica’s success is based on independence, expertise and respect for the community of which it is a part. That community includes around 5 million ex-servicemen and women. Veterans Aid is an organisation that has been quietly extending the hand of friendship and practical support to that community for nearly 80 years – immediately, effectively and on the basis of what is needed rather than what is available.

“This charity is saving lives and Citrica is proud to support it."

CEO of Veterans Aid Dr Hugh Milroy added “Citrica’s decision to become a major patron of Veterans Aid is a wonderful gesture. We are not a ‘glossy’ charity; the men and women who come to us are in crisis – victims of debt, addiction, relationship breakdown, mental illness and loneliness.  Few are heroes. Most are ordinary people who, by virtue of their Service in HM Armed Forces, have become members of a unique ‘family’.

But our philosophy is ‘hand up’ not ‘hand out’ – and that is exactly what friends like Citrica enable us to deliver; a pathway back to health, employment, security, independence, education and self-respect.
