An amazing 20 years service to SSAFA
Sq. Ldr. Clive Hamilton received his 20year Long Service Medal for his unwavering service to SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity.
The Medal and Certificate was presented to Clive by SSAFA Borders Branch President, Prof Sir Hew Strachan Lord Lieutenant Tweeddale (pictured) at the branch AGM on 17th April in Galashiels.
During Clive’s 20 years service, a conservative estimate is that over 500 veterans and their families have benefited from Clive’s assistance.
Adrian Lucas, Chairman of SSAFA Borders Branch said, “Clive Hamilton’s dedication to each veteran and their family is outstanding. His determination to meet the individuals every need in either financial terms, or providing goods, home improvements such as access or a combination of all three is unwavering until he is satisfied that all the client needs are fully met.
Of particular note is Clive’s kindness when helping those who cannot always help themselves. He is a true example of what SSAFA strives to be – by helping those who have served us and our Country.”
Clive lives in Peebles and in addition to SSAFA he volunteers for many other local charities.
