Walking home for Christmas in aid of Armed Services veterans

Professor Alan Finnegan, Director of the University’s Westminster Centre for Research in Veterans, will be joining Walking with the Wounded’s (WWTW) Walking Home for Christmas fundraiser.  

Alan will be walking around 10 miles every day throughout December to achieve a total of 310 miles. 

WWTW is a British charity that provides support to injured former British Armed Forces servicemen and women in their career transition from the military to civilian life. 

Having served nearly 30 years in the British Army, Alan is now a Trustee with WWTW.

He said: "I was working at the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine in 2010, when severely injured casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan were being returned for definitive clinical treatment in Birmingham. The same year saw the founding of Walking With The Wounded.  

“The Charity immediately struck a chord with the country, and ever since their charitable endeavours and commitment speaks volumes of a willingness to improve the quality of life for vulnerable veterans.”
