Two former Merseyside special forces soldiers have “dedicated their lives” to helping other ex-military across the North West.
Peter McComb, from Litherland and Colin Eastaway, from Bootle, who both served in Iraq and Afghanistan, founded The Block CIC - a veterans outreach organisation - in November 2020. The organisation, based in Kirkdale, bridges the gap and offers a wide range of support services to ex-servicemen and women.
Ran by Peter, Colin and a small team of volunteers, The Block offers emergency accommodation, emotional support, coffee mornings, drop-ins, signposting, and more. Through it, the two claim they have pledged over £360,00 of their own money and over 5,000 hours of their own time to help their fellow veterans.
