Episode notes

This series showcases the lives of people across Trafford that have served in our Armed Forces, their families and also those that have worked, or still work, across the emergency services. Working in partnership with Trafford Veterans CIC we listen to the amazing people in our communities that have seen and done astonishing things, faced some terrible struggles, but who have ultimately found comradery, support and comfort as part of the Trafford Veterans family.

Neil Smith - a jam packed episode with the hawaiian shirt wearing chairman of Trafford Veterans CIC. Neil shares stories of his 30 year career covering veterinary and mental health projects including tackling Ebola in Sierra Leone, spearheading mental health in Northern Ireland, organising the response to foot and mouth in the UK and time spent caring for the Queens horses!
