Testimonial - A Passage from Veteran Tom:
'I'd just like to state for the record that the help and support I've had from my case manager at Finchale has been nothing short of phenomenal. When my case manager met me at my home he took a real interest in my situation which was dire to say the least. He listened to me and suggested a range of possibilities that together we could explore. I'll be honest, like, at the time, I didn't hold out much hope after that first meeting but other military charities had told me to get in touch with Finchale and the job centre did as well. My case manager gave me a plan and gave me advice with regard to other issues which were playing on my mind. At times I despaired that there seemed to be nothing happening and I told my case manager this but he was always positive when he spoke to me and never refused to take my calls. When he was not available I was still able to speak to a member of the team; they were always there for me.
Time continued to pass and on a number of occasions I said and wrote things, which on reflection, I shouldn't have and yet he still worked hard behind the scenes updating me with any progress as it happened. I suppose I'm like a lot of veterans being supported by Finchale, you forget that they are looking after other veterans, dependants and individuals at any one time and the loads of different problems the other veterans' guys come with, they certainly have a lot on their plate.
It all turned out well for me and I can tell you this, I would have no hesitation in telling ex-forces people, or families of ex-forces people for that matter, to get in touch with Finchale because if you've got a Finchale case manager in your corner, so to speak, you're halfway there. The support they offer, the assurance, the comms is all there, yes they're supported by other charities but they're a charity themselves so you can rest assured.
I just want to say that, and I mean this, that my case manager very quickly weighed up my situation and outlined what he could and couldn't do for me and he delivered on all his promises, yes it took time, but in the end he 'did exactly what it said on the tin', and you can't ask any more of anyone than that.'
