The Poppy Garden (NE)
Spende geschützt
With the publication of her latest novel, The Poppy Garden, on 11th November 2016, Claire L Brown has created an amazing idea to help veterans of our armed forces to deal with their PTSD.
Inspired by her grandfather, SGT Joseph Robinson, who was part of the RAF during WWII, and how he dealt with his experiences of war by throwing his effort and his passion into his garden - the idea of The Poppy Garden was born.
In the novel, the issues around PTSD and how this affects not only the veteran but also their family are looked at and examined in more detail.
We aim to establish The Poppy Garden Trust - a charity to create a Poppy Garden in various areas of the UK for veterans to seek assistance and support and create their own poppy garden experience.
This will be a centre to provide support, assistance and recuperation facilities, retraining and family support.
We are currently in the process of identifying a suitable property and site in the North East for the very first Poppy Garden to be developed.
