As we mark Remembrance, we’re spotlighting our Wigan team who has come together to show its support for the Armed Forces community.
On Friday 6th November, the annual Poppy Train made its journey from Glasgow Central to London, stopping at stations along the way, including Wigan. Delivered in partnership by Avanti West Coast and the Royal British Legion, the journey brought communities together to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed.
Accommodation Advisor, Claire Oldham, was there to represent Ingeus at Wigan Station when the train arrived and presented a special poppy wreath on behalf of colleagues.
It was a simple but meaningful gesture, and a lovely opportunity for our Wigan team to stand alongside the local community in paying their respects.
Support for the Armed Forces community will continue Remembrance Day, Wednesday 11th November, when Claire and colleagues in the Accommodation Services team will support the Armed Forces Headquarters Breakfast Club in Wigan.
The team will provide a warm welcome to veterans and members of the Armed Forces community, serving complimentary teas and coffees and offering practical housing advice and support.
Claire will also be helping service users visit the Armed Forces Headquarters, giving them an opportunity to connect with the local Armed Forces community and find out more about the support available.
Remembrance Day is an important opportunity to remember those who have served and sacrificed, while also supporting members of the Armed Forces community today. Lest we forget.
