The Standing Tall Foundation offers vital support for the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our society.
They are an inclusive organisation using the example of William Andrew Reid MBE to overcome adversity and challenges in today’s society. They believe no one is immune to struggle and strive to aid anyone in need of help.
The foundation was set up by Corporal Andy Reid MBE in March 2020 with the aim of assisting people on an individual basis. AESSEAL plc has donated £25,000 towards the Standing Tall Foundation, to contribute to the ongoing work of the Foundation.
Darren Jones, a former Royal Engineer, and AESSEAL employee commented: “As ambassadors of the Armed Forces Covenant, and as part of our enduring support to the veteran community, AESSEAL® is absolutely delighted to be able to support the Standing Tall Foundation.
As an organisation that actively employs veterans, AESSEAL® recognises the value that serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business and our community, and we are privileged to support the charitable aims of William Andrew Reid MBE.”
Chris Rea Managing Director of AESSEAL® said: “Following an informal audit by former RSM Darren Jones, we are delighted to support the Standing Tall Foundation as we believe that the vast majority of our donation will go to those most in need of support.”
Andy Reid MBE Chairman of the Standing Tall Foundation said: “This is unbelievable support from AESSEAL®, I can’t thank them enough. This money means we can help more people in need. It is also further testament for my Foundation of the impact we are having, when a company the stature of AESSEAL® are prepared to back us with such a large amount of money.”
John F Tabern CEO of the Standing Tall Foundation commented: “Donations such as this are a huge lift to organisations such as ours. It enables us to plan how we move forward into the future with the confidence to help more people.”
