Sandy served in the Royal Marines in the 70’s and was awarded his General Service Medal. He was born and raised in Belfast. Sandy married a WRNS, Karen and they are still talking after 45 years. When he retired, Sandy became a caseworker in 2016 and did this for a few years until he took over the treasurer's role in 2021.
We love what we do. The sense of pride you get when you know you’ve helped someone get their independence and dignity back is extraordinary.

You’ll also gain new skills and experiences, but most importantly, you’ll make a difference in the lives of those who have dedicated their lives, often at great sacrifice, to protect and serve our country.
