Alistair 'AJ' Wilcox has recently joined the STAND TO VIP team as a Veteran Project Worker with our CONNECT program. The program is designed to give veterans a point of contact within Derbyshire that are having social integration difficulties especially in the light of starting to emerge (hopefully) from restrictions, lockdowns etc due to COVID and need help being directed to like-minded veterans to meet up for fun activities and the usual military style 'banter' that commonly follows groups of ex-armed forces personnel when gathering together.
