When Amy Croucher needed tools for some DIY around her home, she was faced with two choices; to buy tools from her local hardware store, even though she suspected she may use them once and leave them on the shelf to gather dust for the rest of their lives, or, find a way to access and use the tools she needed without such economical and environmental expense.
Veteran-run businesses are more than enterprises; they play a vital role in the social and economic fabric of our communities across Australia. In addition to providing employment opportunities for ex-service and civilian men and women, they are essential points of connection for people transitioning from military into civilian life.
On this week's episode of Helping Hands, we delve into the economic benefits of veteran-run businesses in a feature panel discussion with Chris North, co-founder of Frontline Labs, Adrian Sweatman, a retired nurse and founder of sweatFXmoulage, and Narelle Mason, co-founder of Frontline Mental Health.
Keith Garner, Collett Smart and Nathan Brewer join host Laura Bennett to discuss the benefits of being part of a vibrant and life-giving community to both the community and the individuals.
