Warwickshire ChangeMaker 2025
Warwickshire ChangeMakers 2025: Honouring Local Heroes
Over 100 outstanding individuals were honoured this week at Warwickshire ChangeMakers 2025—a celebration recognising those across the county who dedicate themselves to making a lasting, positive impact in their communities.
Among this year’s inspiring award recipients was Jason Hester, one of our incredible volunteers at the Veterans Contact Point (VCP). Jason was recognised for his unwavering commitment, compassion, and tireless support for veterans in Warwickshire.
His contribution has been invaluable—from providing one-to-one support to veterans in need to helping develop and deliver essential services that improve lives. Jason’s dedication, empathy, and community spirit truly embody what it means to be a ChangeMaker.
We are extremely proud of all of our volunteers, whose collective efforts make the VCP a vital and trusted support hub. But today, we take a moment to shine a spotlight on Jason and celebrate the well-deserved recognition of his hard work.
Congratulations, Jason – and thank you for everything you do.
Continued Support from Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire
Grateful Thanks to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire for their generous donation to Veterans Contact Point.
Their continued support makes a real difference in the lives of our local veterans and their families. Every penny donated goes directly toward the services and assistance we provide—whether it’s mental health support, housing guidance, welfare advice, or simply a safe space to connect with others who understand.
Partnerships like this are vital in helping us continue our mission, and we are truly thankful for the Provincial Grand Lodge’s ongoing commitment to those who have served.
Thank you for standing with our veterans.
