A £3 million pound investment by Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) to transform a long-standing and much loved support service for veterans has been approved at the latest GMCA meeting.
The substantial funding proposal for Broughton House, the UK’s first Veterans Care Village in Salford was put to Greater Manchester Leaders last week (Friday, April 27) and will help the charity make its plans to transform the current facility. Broughton House in Salford has been supporting the UK’s veterans for more than 100 years and is in the midst of a £13m overhaul to become a care village dedicated to Greater Manchester’s veterans of all ages and conflicts by 2020. The new care village, which will tend to both physical and psychological wounds, will have a 64-bed registered nursing facility, respite and rehabilitation facilities and 28 independent living apartments alongside a military support hub for veterans living in the community.
