Nantwich company boss Steven Mifsud will be joining other CEOs as part of the RBLI sleep out for homeless veterans on March 26.
The Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) have helped many veterans who have nowhere else to go.
For various reasons they have found themselves without a home or support when they need it most.
The RBLI provides welfare advice and assistance with accommodation.
According to Ministry of Defence statistics in the 2018/19 year there were 391 discharges from the Navy, 1,316 from the Army and 162 from the RAF for medical reasons.
More than half (57%) left as a result of multiple medical conditions.
The two most common principal causes of medical discharge amongst these 1,869 were Musculoskeletal Disorders and Injuries and Mental and Behavioural Disorders.
These reflect a similar pattern in previous years.
Steven, director of Direct Access based on Regents Park in Nantwich, said: “At Direct Access we help organisations to improve accessibility for disabled people.
“This has included working with hostels to improve access, local council housing offices and healthcare facilities.
“However, not every disabled veteran is able to use such services which is where the vital personal and emotional support services of RBLI is crucial to prevent homelessness.
“I am spending a night on the streets in Aylesford next month to meet veterans who have been supported by RBLI to hear their stories and understand the barriers they experience.”
