Colonel Ted Shields MBE DL was honoured to represent the Lord-Lieutenant at Lanarkshire’s SSAFA Celebration on 5 June at the Radstone Hotel, Larkhall. The Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Airmen’s Families Association (SSAFA) have been providing welfare, health and support services to Lanarkshire’s serving personnel, veterans and their families for well over a century. The volunteers came together to celebrate their work and the achievements of their external community champions. Among the awards presented were Cadets from Strathaven’s Army Cadet Force who had raised significant funds to support SSAFA work.
