Academy for veterans seeks industry support

CIOB members are being asked to support an initiative from a retired construction company owner.

Malcolm Whitehead is endeavouring to establish the Forces Remap Training Academy to deliver a national veterans training programme that supports vulnerable and homeless veterans from the UK Armed Services. This will be achieved by training and provision of equipment to manufacture the components for a complete timber house. 

He needs one more trustee to enable the initiative to obtain a registered charity number so it can start to raise approximately £3m to build and equip the academy. He is also seeking patrons and ambassadors for the charity once it is set up.
