OUR AIM

to employ veterans who have retrained as film or theatre makers, so they can demonstrate the extraordinary character and capability of veterans who have overcome mental trauma or homelessness.

”The idea is sound and the intent and ethos are selfless.”

Brig. (ret) Charlie Hobson RM – Rock2Recovery

“Giving veterans hope through working as a team towards something inspiring.”

Hayley Thompson RGN, RMN, LLB, Mental Health Practitioner




OUR ETHOS

At all times, our priority is to serve our beneficiaries, and for them to prosper.
We are a tiny part of the broad spectrum of charities working with mental trauma overcomers and the homeless. Whenever possible, we will work alongside other charities.

OUR APPROACH

We are providing platforms on which veterans can be employed to tell their story and show their capability. They have a unique contribution to make in creating a more receptive, understanding and helpful environment to those overcoming homelessness and mental trauma. A significant part of their work is to counter the fear and stigma which cast doubt on their employability.

Albert Lines (Bootsie) was a World War II veteran who lived rough on the streets of Kingston Upon Thames in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

He is the inspiration for this charity and its flagship event The Terminus.
