A Coventry Veteran has been presented with a Good Citizen Award by the city’s Lord Mayor.
Peter Fazakarley, has dedicated 32 years to providing practical and emotional support for veterans and their families, particularly those who ended their service with disabilities.
Through his voluntary work as a caseworker at the Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Airmens’ Families Association (SSAFA) he has helped veterans access social housing, furniture and equipment, organised adaptations for their homes, and assisted them in applying for benefits and accessing financial support.
The Lord Mayor of Coventry, Councillor Mal Mutton, said:
“Peter’s dedication has gone beyond the call of duty. His work has positively improved the lives of many veterans and their families. He has spent hours fundraising and campaigning for the Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Airmens’ Families Association.
“Peter is a very worthy recipient of the Coventry Good Citizen Award and a fantastic role model for others in Coventry. Congratulations.”
