1K donation will make distinct
difference 4 homeless veterans
» » DISTINCTION DOORS IS PROUD TO
announce that it has raised £1,180 for Help
4 Homeless Veterans – a Barnsley charity
that supports former members of HM Forces
facing homelessness.
In an effort to raise as much money as
possible for Help 4 Homeless Veterans,
staff at Distinction organised a range of
activities at its Tankersley premises, including
a cake sale, mystery tombola, bean bag
throwing competition, a prize draw for a free
Distinction Door – including installation
– and a free day’s holiday. Distinction’s IT
support analyst, Milan Tomic, successfully
completed a ‘3 peaks challenge’ by walking
23km on a treadmill.
Based in South Yorkshire, Help 4 Homeless
Veterans received royal recognition in April
2018 when it was presented with the Duke
of York Community Initiative Award by
HRH Prince Andrew. The charity has a
working agreement with Barnsley Council
and Doncaster Council to rent housing stock,
and then sub-let to veterans at cost, with no
profit made on the rents. So far, it has helped
around 400 veterans with housing problems –
essential work that is only possible with grants
from donators and fundraising.
