Joanna Lumley’s Forgotten British Ghurkhas visit Newbury firm
Local firm helps in attempt to raise half a million pounds for Gurkhas - Britain's forgotten soldiers
Gurkhas visited local phone answering firm Verbatim today to see for themselves calls donating funds to a new charity “ The Forgotten British Ghurkha” .
The aim of the fund is to raise money to purchase a residential centre where Ghurkhas and their families can live in dignity before settling in the UK.
Verbatim are supplying a telephone reception service and a credit card donation line, as they "do their bit" for some of our nation's most loyal soldiers.
Graham Hill and Gavin Peck the founders and directors of Verbatim, the phone answering service, said.
"We are delighted to support this noble cause supporting men and their families who served our nation with great honour. It is outrageous that men who have put their lives on the line for us should be treated so badly - I was disgusted to discover that even those who are being allowed to stay in the UK have to endure many months in squalid housing conditions of ten men to a room, whilst the paperwork is slowly sorted. Whilst civil servants shuffle forms, these brave soldiers are enduring terrible, almost battlefield like, conditions, needlessly.
If you would like to support this charity and help build a suitable residential centre, please call the Verbatim donation line on
0845 003 9958
and donate whatever you can. Every £20 pledged will really help towards our target of £500,000."
