We are delighted to announce that David Johnstone has been reappointed as the Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner for a further three-year term.
Since taking up the role, the Commissioner has worked tirelessly to champion the interests of veterans across Northern Ireland, engaging with the veteran community, government departments, statutory organisations, charities and stakeholders to improve support and outcomes for those who have served.
Following his reappointment, Commissioner Johnstone has recorded a short video message to thank veterans, partners and supporters for their continued encouragement and commitment. In the video, he reflects on the progress made so far and looks ahead to the important work that remains over the next three years.
The Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioners Office would like to thank everyone who continues to champion and support our veteran community. Your dedication, collaboration and advocacy are helping to ensure that veterans receive the recognition, care and opportunities they deserve.
We look forward to continuing this important work together.
