CONTRACTOR Honours War Heroes With Remembrance Displays
LOCAL repairs and maintenance contractor Home Fix Scotland (HFS) has been paying its respects to the fallen ahead of Remembrance Sunday this weekend.
Staff have created three displays to honour the nation’s war heroes, at Rowan Court, Port Glasgow, and Regent Court and Rankin Court in Greenock.
Meanwhile environmental supervisor Derek Robertson has donated his own time to assemble and prepare a wreath which will be laid at the Wellpark war memorial on Sunday with the full support of the organisation.
Tam Rough, contracts manager at Home Fix Scotland said: “The annual Remembrance Sunday commemorations are a significant event in the Home Fix Scotland calendar.
“While the traditional parades and public gatherings will not take place, our armed forces have made immense sacrifices and it’s important that we as an organisation and the wider community do our utmost to acknowledge these.
“We are extremely proud to work in partnership with the Scottish Veterans’ Association and Inverclyde Shed, which are staffed by ex-servicemen. We also provide employment opportunities for veterans and assist where possible with work experience.
Stephen Elliot, support services manager at Veterans’ Housing Scotland, said: “Remembrance is something that unites our communities and at a time when we acknowledge the service of our tenants, we also take the time to remember those who didn’t return.
“As a charity we are grateful for the support of Home Fix Scotland as we work with and support our tenants across Scotland.”
