Bravest Manufacturing Company, which provides employment opportunities to veterans and people with disabilities. Throughout the pandemic, the team in BBMC helped to keep the country running producing signs for major infrastructure projects, pallets for the transportation of food and ventilators, and hand sanitizers for the telecoms industry.

All veterans living on the village are provided with a tailored welfare support programme to help them regain their independence and overcome challenges caused by physical or mental disability, drug or alcohol dependency, and unemployment.

Daniel said: “Raising money for this charity is deeply meaningful because it directly improves the lives of veterans, addressing their most pressing needs. Donations help provide essentials like toiletries and bedding, therapy for PTSD, and support for elderly veterans with dementia. Supporting these initiatives ensures that those who served are treated with dignity and compassion."
