Barr welcomes help and support for Armed Forces veterans
Councillor Barr, who served in the Royal Irish Regiment, is Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s Armed Forces Advocate.
He said: “For too long many veterans found it extremely difficult to navigate their way to the appropriate support provider, and often fell through the net as a result. I believe the Veterans’ Gateway has the potential to ensure veterans and their families no longer miss out on the help which they need and deserve, and that in the future they receive the information, advice and support they require.”
