In the 11th episode of The Echo Dispatch, Jason sits down with David Wood, chief executive of Poole-based charity Helping Homeless Veterans UK.

The organisation was founded in September 2019 and since then, despite challenges created by the pandemic, the all-volunteer team has supported more than 230 veterans.

During the episode, David discusses his own personal experiences which led to him dedicating his time to supporting veterans.

He also details the work the charity does, his dream project which is edging towards completion and his opinion on what more could be done by Government and local authorities to support veterans.
