A HOUSING association that supports veterans at Catterick has re-affirmed its commitment to the Forces.

Riverside has a number of centres nationally that support veterans including The Beacon based at Catterick Garrison.

The Beacon, a supported housing scheme with dedicated support workers, has been credited with helping dozens of veterans overcome illnesses such as depression and PTSD

Riverside executives recently met Army officials to re-sign the Armed Forces Covenant, which re-affirms a commitment to treat those who serve in the military with fairness and respect.

Chief executive Carol Matthews said: “We are proud to support veterans who have struggled with the transition back to civilian life.”
