Salute to Our Boys
COMEDIAN Jim Davidson was this week joined by Daily Star Sunday owner Richard Desmond and wife Joy to rally support for veterans.
The funnyman welcomed guests to a charity ball for Care After Combat, which works to improve the lives of those blighted by conflict. It particularly looks to help service people who end up in jail – thought to be about 5% of the prison population.
Speaker and Falklands veteran Simon Weston said: “They would just like a second chance.” The charity’s work to stop reoffending has saved taxpayers around £14million.
