Finchale was there for these guys – and they’re here for you too…

Mel

Mel Served in the Army for 19 years. When he left, he struggled to integrate and felt that he had lost his sense of pride. Mel was recovering from a mental health breakdown, suffering with alcohol dependency and £20,000 of debt when he contacted Finchale Group. Some days he was reluctant to leave his home.

Finchale arranged referrals to mental health services and a debt relief charity, and encouraged him to take part in a number of community events. He was also helped into fulltime employment as an LGV driver. He no longer drinks and follows a financial plan to enable him to pay off his debts within two years. He said: “Without the support I received from Finchale I would still be in debt and without a job. They helped me move on to where I am now. I have my sense of pride back as I now have a trade – it’s given me my professional status back and I feel like a member of society now. My drinking? I don’t anymore, it’s the end of my job if I do and I’m not giving that up for anyone”.

Lea

Lea wanted to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and join the Army. Lea subsequently joined the Light Infantry and Served for seven years. He began civilian life as a volunteer instructor with a local Army Cadet Force detachment and then secured a full time job. Following an altercation with his manager, Lea decided to walk away from his job. He was suffering with anxiety, low self-esteem and severe depression at the point he contacted Finchale’s Veteran support team. He wanted help to secure new employment but it was very clear that his confi dence needed rebuilding too. Within a short period of time, Lea was taken onto one of Finchale’s support programmes and over a period of four weeks he obtained his fork lift operator qualifi cation, received support from his case manager to get him ‘employment ready’ and assistance to search and apply for a job. Lea said: “I am extremely grateful for the support Finchale gave me. It helped me re-focus my life at a really bad time for me. I now have a job and feel that I have something to give”.
