“It’s just horrific. There’s no support”

In today’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Alan Knell, now the Philanthropy & Relationship Manager of the Hospice of Good Shepherd, uncovers the truth behind the lack of support available to those working in the military, along with shocking suicide statistics in those attempting to return to a “normal” life.

From working as a minesweeper in the Royal Navy to having to adjust to life on “civvy street”, Alan discusses what led to the pivotal moment where he exchanged a career in the Armed Forces to one that is a force for good.

Expect pantomime horses, a Guinness World Record breaking charity rugby match and an inside look into what life in the Navy is REALLY like during the full episode, available to stream now on all platforms.
